CVE-2026-90426 — iommu/tegra241-cmdqv: Free the error IRQ before tearing down VINTFs

Affected: Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iommu/tegra241-cmdqv: Free the error IRQ before tearing down VINTFs

tegra241_cmdqv_remove() tears each VINTF down first, then calls free_irq(). Tearing a VINTF down frees vintf0 and clears cmdqv->vintfs[0]. An error in that window makes tegra241_cmdqv_isr() read the stale slot and hand it to tegra241_vintf0_handle_error(), which dereferences a NULL or freed pointer.

Free the IRQ before tearing the VINTFs down. free_irq() waits for in-flight handlers to finish and blocks new ones, so no ISR can observe a VINTF as it is torn down.

Note: a user-owned VINTF (viommu) could outlive this teardown, which unmaps cmdqv->base and frees cmdqv->vintfs, so a later viommu close then touches freed memory. This is neither introduced nor fixed here: a physical IOMMU is not a pluggable device, so iommufd by design holds no reference on the one behind a viommu, and this teardown is not expected while that viommu is still alive.
