CVE-2026-80896
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mshv: Fix race in mshv_irqfd_deassign mshv_irqfd_deactivate() and the hlist traversal of pt_irqfds_list require pt->pt_irqfds_lock to be held, but mshv_irqfd_deassign() omits it. This races with the EPOLLHUP path in mshv_irqfd_wakeup(), which does take the lock before calling mshv_irqfd_deactivate(). Additionally, mshv_irqfd_deactivate() uses hlist_del() which poisons the node pointers rather than resetting them. Since mshv_irqfd_is_active() relies on hlist_unhashed() (checks pprev == NULL), a poisoned node still appears active. If a concurrent path calls mshv_irqfd_deactivate() again on the same irqfd, the guard fails to prevent a double hlist_del() on poisoned pointers. Fix both issues: - Add the missing spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq around the list traversal in mshv_irqfd_deassign(), matching mshv_irqfd_release(). - Use hlist_del_init() instead of hlist_del() so the node is properly marked as unhashed after removal, making the is_active guard reliable.
