From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit 5e0ce1455c09dd61d029b8ad45d82e1ac0b6c4c9 upstream. The guest sequence of: a) XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msix b) XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msix results in hitting an NULL pointer due to using freed pointers. The device passed in the guest MUST have MSI-X capability. The a) constructs and SysFS representation of MSI and MSI groups. The b) adds a second set of them but adding in to SysFS fails (duplicate entry). 'populate_msi_sysfs' frees the newly allocated msi_irq_groups (note that in a) pdev->msi_irq_groups is still set) and also free's ALL of the MSI-X entries of the device (the ones allocated in step a) and b)). The unwind code: 'free_msi_irqs' deletes all the entries and tries to delete the pdev->msi_irq_groups (which hasn't been set to NULL). However the pointers in the SysFS are already freed and we hit an NULL pointer further on when 'strlen' is attempted on a freed pointer. The patch adds a simple check in the XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msix to guard against that. The check for msi_enabled is not stricly neccessary.
