[PATCH 1/3] irqchip/gic-v4: Clear the domain and fwnode pointers after freeing them
From: Fuad Tabba
Date: Thu Aug 20 2026 - 08:51:38 EST
The GICv4 allocation and teardown paths free their irq domains and
fwnodes but leave the pointers set, and the allocation error paths test
those pointers before removing them. struct its_vm and struct its_vpe
are embedded in KVM's per-VM and per-vCPU state, so nothing re-zeroes
them between two attempts, and an error path taken after an earlier one
already freed the domain calls irq_domain_remove() on freed memory.
Reaching this takes two allocation failures, one to leave the stale
pointer behind and one to send the next attempt down the error path.
Fixes: 7de5c0af9c7c ("irqchip/gic-v4: Add per-VM VPE domain creation")
Fixes: 6d31b6ff985d ("irqchip/gic-v4.1: Add VSGI allocation/teardown")
