From 4dc48eb2dd088717e59911663383bf79e1aa33a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2011 18:37:05 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] virtio-pci: fix use after free commit 72103bd1285211440621f2c46f4fce377584de54 upstream. Commit 31a3ddda166cda86d2b5111e09ba4bda5239fae6 introduced a use after free in virtio-pci. The main issue is that the release method signals removal of the virtio device, while remove signals removal of the pci device. For example, on driver removal or hot-unplug, virtio_pci_release_dev is called before virtio_pci_remove. We then might get a crash as virtio_pci_remove tries to use the device freed by virtio_pci_release_dev. We allocate/free all resources together with the pci device, so we can leave the release method empty. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
