4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Radu Rendec <radu.rendec@xxxxxxxxx> commit 78e7b15e17ac175e7eed9e21c6f92d03d3b0a6fa upstream. The arch_teardown_msi_irqs() function assumes that controller ops pointers were already checked in arch_setup_msi_irqs(), but this assumption is wrong: arch_teardown_msi_irqs() can be called even when arch_setup_msi_irqs() returns an error (-ENOSYS). This can happen in the following scenario: - msi_capability_init() calls pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs() - pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs() returns -ENOSYS - msi_capability_init() notices the error and calls free_msi_irqs() - free_msi_irqs() calls pci_msi_teardown_msi_irqs() This is easier to see when CONFIG_PCI_MSI_IRQ_DOMAIN is not set and pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs() and pci_msi_teardown_msi_irqs() are just aliases to arch_setup_msi_irqs() and arch_teardown_msi_irqs(). The call to free_msi_irqs() upon pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs() failure seems legit, as it does additional cleanup; e.g. list_del(&entry->list) and kfree(entry) inside free_msi_irqs() do happen (MSI descriptors are allocated before pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs() is called and need to be cleaned up if that fails).
