Subject: [PATCH] Drivers: hv: util: Fix transport teardown on util_probe() failure
Date: Wed,  4 Nov 2026 21:30:49 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104203049.1031148-1-amisiurov@cloudlinux.com> (raw)

Commit 07a756a49f4b ("Drivers: hv: util: Avoid accessing a ringbuffer
not initialized yet") moved the creation of the KVP and VSS transports
after vmbus_open(). util_probe() still calls srv->util_deinit() when
vmbus_open() or util_init_transport() fails, and hv_kvp_deinit() and
hv_vss_deinit() destroy hvt unconditionally.

On the first probe, or when hvutil_transport_init() has failed, hvt is
NULL and hvutil_transport_destroy() dereferences it.  After an unbind,
hvt still points to the transport freed by util_remove(), so a failed
re-probe frees it a second time.

Skip the destroy when there is no transport and clear hvt after it.

Found while reviewing a backport of commit 07a756a49f4b.
Not reproduced at runtime.
