The struct vcpu_svm.ir_list and ir_list_lock are being accessed even when AVIC is not enabled, while current code only initialize the list and the lock only when AVIC is enabled. This ended up trigger NULL pointer dereference bug in the function vm_ir_list_del with the following call trace: svm_update_pi_irte+0x3c2/0x550 [kvm_amd] ? proc_create_single_data+0x41/0x50 kvm_arch_irq_bypass_add_producer+0x40/0x60 [kvm] __connect+0x5f/0xb0 [irqbypass] irq_bypass_register_producer+0xf8/0x120 [irqbypass] vfio_msi_set_vector_signal+0x1de/0x2d0 [vfio_pci] vfio_msi_set_block+0x77/0xe0 [vfio_pci] vfio_pci_set_msi_trigger+0x25c/0x2f0 [vfio_pci] vfio_pci_set_irqs_ioctl+0x88/0xb0 [vfio_pci] vfio_pci_ioctl+0x2ea/0xed0 [vfio_pci] ? alloc_file_pseudo+0xa5/0x100 vfio_device_fops_unl_ioctl+0x26/0x30 [vfio] ? vfio_device_fops_unl_ioctl+0x26/0x30 [vfio] __x64_sys_ioctl+0x96/0xd0 do_syscall_64+0x37/0x80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 Therefore, move the initialziation code before checking for AVIC enabled so that it is always excuted.
