Upstream information
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:nvme-apple: Destroy the admin queue on removal
The admin queue is allocated with blk_mq_alloc_queue() but never
destroyed. nvme_free_ctrl() only drops the last reference and
blk_mq_exit_queue() and blk_sync_queue() never run: the hctx is never
moved to q->unused_hctx_list and the timeout timer and work stay armed on
a queue that is about to be freed which will eventually oops inside
blk_mq_timeout_work().
This can only be triggered when the controller fails to come up and is
then immediately torn down again which is why no one ever ran into this
before.
Let's just copy what the pcie driver does: unquiesce and destroy the admin
queue before nvme_uninit_ctrl().
With this the following WARN followed by a panic no longer happens:
