[PATCH v2 1/4] LoongArch: KVM: Clear device pointer in irqchip destroy callbacks

From: Tao Cui

Date: Tue Sep 29 2026 - 06:32:52 EST


From: Tao Cui <cuitao@xxxxxxxxxx>

The destroy callbacks of the four irqchip devices free the device
structure without clearing kvm->arch.{ipi,eiointc,pch_pic,dmsintc},
leaving a dangling pointer. ops->destroy() is not only called at VM
teardown but also when KVM_CREATE_DEVICE succeeds and the following
anon_inode_getfd() fails (e.g. under RLIMIT_NOFILE); the VM stays
alive, kvm_arch_irqchip_in_kernel() still reports true, and interrupt
injection dereferences the freed device.

Clear the pointer when destroying.

Fixes: 229132c309d6 ("LoongArch: KVM: Add DMSINTC device support")
