[PATCH v4 1/2] hisi_acc_vfio_pci: fix NULL dereference in reset_prepare on PF passthrough

From: Longfang Liu

Date: Fri Sep 18 2026 - 04:51:18 EST


When a PF is bound to the driver via driver_override and passed
through to a VM, its pf_qm stays NULL. The PCI error handler
reset_prepare() runs during open_device through
pci_try_reset_function(), before the mig_ops gate, and dereferences
the NULL pf_qm for the timeout log, crashing the kernel.

Move the mig_ops check to the entry of reset_prepare() and
aer_reset_done() so non-migration devices skip the QM_RESETTING
coordination. Also clear set_reset_flag together with QM_RESETTING
in aer_reset_done(); the flag was never cleared before, so a later
timed-out reset could release a foreign lock. Replace
pci_iov_vf_id() >= 0 with pdev->is_virtfn in probe() for clearer
on-VF gating.

Fixes: b0eed085903e ("hisi_acc_vfio_pci: Add support for VFIO live migration")
Fixes: a22099ed7936f ("hisi_acc_vfio_pci: fix VF reset timeout issue")
