[PATCH] xen-blkfront: Handle NULL gendisk
From: Jason Andryuk
Date: Wed Jun 01 2022 - 16:42:41 EST
When a VBD is not fully created and then closed, the kernel can have a
NULL pointer dereference:
The reproducer is trivial:
[user@dom0 ~]$ sudo xl block-attach work backend=sys-usb vdev=xvdi target=/dev/sdz
[user@dom0 ~]$ xl block-list work
Vdev BE handle state evt-ch ring-ref BE-path
51712 0 241 4 -1 -1 /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/241/51712
51728 0 241 4 -1 -1 /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/241/51728
51744 0 241 4 -1 -1 /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/241/51744
51760 0 241 4 -1 -1 /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/241/51760
51840 3 241 3 -1 -1 /local/domain/3/backend/vbd/241/51840
^ note state, the /dev/sdz doesn't exist in the backend
[user@dom0 ~]$ sudo xl block-detach work xvdi
[user@dom0 ~]$ xl block-list work
Vdev BE handle state evt-ch ring-ref BE-path
work is an invalid domain identifier
And its console has:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
Kernel Offset: disabled
info->rq and info->gd are only set in blkfront_connect(), which is
called for state 4 (XenbusStateConnected). Guard against using NULL
variables in blkfront_closing() to avoid the issue.
The rest of blkfront_closing looks okay. If info->nr_rings is 0, then
for_each_rinfo won't do anything.
blkfront_remove also needs to check for non-NULL pointers before
cleaning up the gendisk and request queue.
Fixes: 05d69d950d9d "xen-blkfront: sanitize the removal state machine"
