Sashiko reports:
***
If an allocation fails here during i40e_rebuild(), i40e_vsi_clear()
frees the
main VSI and sets pf->vsi[vsi->idx] = NULL, and the rebuild will abort
without
stopping the PTP clock.
Later, if the device is removed or unbound, i40e_remove()
unconditionally
calls i40e_ptp_stop(), which does:
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_ptp.c:i40e_ptp_stop() {
...
struct i40e_vsi *main_vsi = i40e_pf_get_main_vsi(pf);
...
dev_info(&pf->pdev->dev, "%s: removed PHC on %s\n", __func__,
main_vsi->netdev->name);
...
}
Would this cause a NULL pointer dereference since main_vsi is now NULL?
***
Check if main_vsi is not null before calling dev_info().
