Since d7dac083414eb5bb99a6d2ed53dc2c1b405224e5\n(\"net-sysfs: update the queue counts in the unregistration path\"),\nunregister_netdev() indirectly sets real_num_tx_queues to 0. Those two\nfacts together means, that xennet_destroy_queues() called from\nxennet_remove() cannot do its job, because it's called after\nunregister_netdev(). This results in kfree-ing queues that are still\nlinked in napi, which ultimately crashes:\n\n BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000\n #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode\n #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page\n PGD 0 P4D 0\n Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI\n CPU: 1 PID: 52 Comm: xenwatch Tainted: G W 5.16.10-1.32.fc32.qubes.x86_64+ #226\n RIP: 0010:free_netdev+0xa3/0x1a0\n Code: ff 48 89 df e8 2e e9 00 00 48 8b 43 50 48 8b 08 48 8d b8 a0 fe ff ff 48 8d a9 a0 fe ff ff 49 39 c4 75 26 eb 47 e8 ed c1 66 ff <48> 8b 85 60 01 00 00 48 8d 95 60 01 00 00 48 89 ef 48 2d 60 01 00\n RSP: 0000:ffffc90000bcfd00 EFLAGS: 00010286\n RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff88800edad000 RCX: 0000000000000000\n RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: ffffc90000bcfc30 RDI: 00000000ffffffff\n RBP: fffffffffffffea0 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000\n R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000001 R12: ffff88800edad050\n R13: ffff8880065f8f88 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffff8880066c6680\n FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff8880f3300000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000\n CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\n CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 00000000e998c006 CR4: 00000000003706e0\n Call Trace:\n \n xennet_remove+0x13d/0x300 [xen_netfront]\n xenbus_dev_remove+0x6d/0xf0\n __device_release_driver+0x17a/0x240\n device_release_driver+0x24/0x30\n bus_remove_device+0xd8/0x140\n device_del+0x18b/0x410\n ? _raw_spin_unlock+0x16/0x30\n ? klist_iter_exit+0x14/0x20\n ? xenbus_dev_request_and_reply+0x80/0x80\n device_unregister+0x13/0x60\n xenbus_dev_changed+0x18e/0x1f0\n xenwatch_thread+0xc0/0x1a0\n ? do_wait_intr_irq+0xa0/0xa0\n kthread+0x16b/0x190\n ? set_kthread_struct+0x40/0x40\n ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30\n \n\nFix this by calling xennet_destroy_queues() from xennet_uninit(),\nwhen real_num_tx_queues is still available.
