Subject: [PATCH net v2] xen-netback: avoid race that can lead to NULL pointer dereference
Date:   Fri, 13 Dec 2019 13:20:40 +0000

Precedence: bulk

In function xenvif_disconnect_queue(), the value of queue->rx_irq is
zeroed *before* queue->task is stopped. Unfortunately that task may call
notify_remote_via_irq(queue->rx_irq) and calling that function with a
zero value results in a NULL pointer dereference in evtchn_from_irq().

This patch simply re-orders things, stopping all tasks before zero-ing the
irq values, thereby avoiding the possibility of the race.

Fixes: 2ac061ce97f4 ("xen/netback: cleanup init and deinit code")
