Is that valid? Handling deletion of device and collection separately is valid I think as MAPC (vgic_its_cmd_handle_mapc) and MAPD(vgic_its_cmd_handle_mapd) commands do that separately. However, ..., a collection can be referred by an ITE and I should reset the ite->collection = NULL for all ITEs referencing a deleted ITE. vgic_its_free_collection do that. By the way, vgic_its_unmap_device() is same as vgic_its_free_device() so I can remove vgic_its_free_device. > >> +} >> + >> +static void vgic_its_free_collection_list(struct kvm *kvm, struct vgic_its *its) >> +{ >> + struct list_head *cur, *temp; >> + >> + list_for_each_safe(cur, temp, &its->collection_list) { >> + struct its_collection *coll; >> + >> + coll = list_entry(cur, struct its_collection, coll_list); >> + list_del(cur); >> + kfree(coll); >> + } >> + mutex_unlock(&its->its_lock); > > no mutex_lock ? damned. > >> +} >> + >> + >> static u64 its_cmd_mask_field(u64 *its_cmd, int word, int shift, int size) >> { >> return (le64_to_cpu(its_cmd[word]) >> shift) & (BIT_ULL(size) - 1); >> @@ -1634,46 +1673,13 @@ static int vgic_its_create(struct kvm_device *dev, u32 type) >> return vgic_its_set_abi(its, NR_ITS_ABIS - 1); >> } >> >> -static void vgic_its_free_device(struct kvm *kvm, struct its_device *dev) >> -{ >> - struct its_ite *ite, *tmp; >> - >> - list_for_each_entry_safe(ite, tmp, &dev->itt_head, ite_list) >> - its_free_ite(kvm, ite); >> - list_del(&dev->dev_list); >> - kfree(dev); >> -} >> - >> static void vgic_its_destroy(struct kvm_device *kvm_dev) >> { >> struct kvm *kvm = kvm_dev->kvm; >> struct vgic_its *its = kvm_dev->private; >> - struct list_head *cur, *temp; >> - >> - /* >> - * We may end up here without the lists ever having been initialized. >> - * Check this and bail out early to avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer. >> - */ >> - if (!its->device_list.next) >> - return; > > I don't think this is valid.

I think you agreed on my previous statement: https://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm-arm/msg27198.html I understand the sequence is: 1) vm_ioctl_create_device |_ ops->create |_ vgic_create_its INIT_LIST_HEAD(&its->device_list); INIT_LIST_HEAD(&its->collection_list); list_add(&dev->vm_node, &kvm->devices); kvm_destroy_devices list_for_each_entry_safe(dev, tmp, &kvm->devices, vm_node) { ops->destroy |_ vgic_its_destroy so vgic_its_destroy is called on an its device that was added to the kvm->devices list. If so the list was created. Then we have vgic_mmio_write_its_baser() which is new caller introduced in subsequent patch. for vgic_mmio_write_its_baser() to be called, vgic_register_its_iodev must have been called. This latter is called on set_attr=vgic_its_set_attr set_attr can be called only if the fd is created. This happens in kvm_ioctl_create_device after ops->create() has been successful, ie meaning the lists are created. What do I miss? What is the case you identified where the device_list is not initialized?
