Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/tegra241-cmdqv: Fix CMD_SYNC use-after-free on teardown arm_smmu_impl_remove() is registered as a devres action in arm_smmu_impl_probe(), before arm_smmu_init_queues() allocates smmu->cmdq.q.base. On a devres unwind, whether a failed probe or an unbind, the queue is freed first and arm_smmu_impl_remove() then runs tegra241_cmdqv_remove_vintf(), whose VINTF deinit issues a CMD_SYNC on the freed memory. Observed during testing with a QEMU hack that makes the VCMDQ fail to enable, so the impl reset fails and probe aborts into the devres unwind: platform NVDA200C:00: tegra241_cmdqv: VINTF0: VCMDQ0/LVCMDQ0: failed to enable, STATUS=0x00000000 platform NVDA200C:00: tegra241_cmdqv: VINTF0: VCMDQ0/LVCMDQ0: GERRORN=0x0, GERROR=0x4, CONS=0x0 platform NVDA200C:00: tegra241_cmdqv: VINTF0: VCMDQ0/LVCMDQ0: uncleared error detected, resetting arm-smmu-v3 arm-smmu-v3.0.auto: failed to reset impl arm-smmu-v3 arm-smmu-v3.0.auto: probe with driver arm-smmu-v3 failed with error -110 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff8000891e0098 ...

Quiesce the VINTFs earlier instead. Add a device_disable() impl op and run it from arm_smmu_disable_action() while the CMDQ is still up. That handles a live unbind. A failed reset is already handled because tegra241_vintf_hw_init() deinits the VINTF on its own error path. tegra241_cmdqv_remove_vintf() is also used by the iommufd viommu destroy path, so quiesce there too.
