This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: hns3: fix kernel crash when uninstalling driver to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-hns3-fix-kernel-crash-when-uninstalling-driver.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit d000adf039e25afa6d605f6880000797e54d2759 Author: Peiyang Wang <wangpeiyang1@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Nov 1 17:15:07 2024 +0800 net: hns3: fix kernel crash when uninstalling driver [ Upstream commit df3dff8ab6d79edc942464999d06fbaedf8cdd18 ] When the driver is uninstalled and the VF is disabled concurrently, a kernel crash occurs. The reason is that the two actions call function pci_disable_sriov(). The num_VFs is checked to determine whether to release the corresponding resources. During the second calling, num_VFs is not 0 and the resource release function is called. However, the corresponding resource has been released during the first invoking. Therefore, the problem occurs: [15277.839633][T50670] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000020 ...
