Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vdpa_sim: avoid putting an uninitialized iova_domain
The system will crash if we put an uninitialized iova_domain, this
could happen when an error occurs before initializing the iova_domain
in vdpasim_create().
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
…
RIP: 0010:__cpuhp_state_remove_instance+0x96/0x1c0
…
Call Trace:
<TASK>
put_iova_domain+0x29/0x220
vdpasim_free+0xd1/0x120 [vdpa_sim]
vdpa_release_dev+0x21/0x40 [vdpa]

…
So we must make sure the iova_domain is already initialized before
put it.
In addition, we may get the following warning in this case:
WARNING: … drivers/iommu/iova.c:344 iova_cache_put+0x58/0x70
So we must make sure the iova_cache_put() is invoked only if the
iova_cache_get() is already invoked. Let’s fix it together.
