[PATCH v2 2/3] virtio_input: stop callbacks before unregistering input device

From: Karl Mehltretter <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-05 15:21:22
Also in: kvm, linux-remoteproc, linux-s390, linux-um, lkml, platform-driver-x86, virtualization
Subsystem: the rest, virtio core, virtio input driver · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, "Michael S. Tsirkin", Jason Wang, Eugenio Pérez, Gerd Hoffmann

virtinput_remove() unregisters the input device before resetting the
virtio device. virtinput_recv_events() drops vi->lock around input_event(),
so clearing vi->ready does not stop a callback that passed the entry check.
It can still use vi->idev, requeue buffers and kick the queue.

Reset first, as virtinput_freeze() already does. With the preceding core
change, reset waits for callbacks before input_unregister_device() can
free vi->idev. Recheck vi->ready after taking the lock again: keep draining
completed events so an input packet is not truncated, but stop requeueing
buffers and kicking the queue.

With evdev attached, input_unregister_handle() currently waits for an RCU
grace period, which also waits out IRQ callbacks. This masks the lifetime
bug on PCI and MMIO, but does not protect sleepable callbacks on other
transports.
