What it is

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

iommu/vt-d: Fix NULL domain on device release

In the kdump kernel, the IOMMU operates in deferred_attach mode. In this

mode, info->domain may not yet be assigned by the time the release_device

function is called. It leads to the following crash in the crash kernel:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 000000000000003c

...

RIP: 0010:do_raw_spin_lock+0xa/0xa0

...

_raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x1b/0x30

...

Use the release_domain mechanism to fix it. The scalable mode context

entry which is not part of release domain should be cleared in

release_device().
