If we specify a valid CQ ring address but an invalid SQ ring address, we'll correctly spot this and free the allocated pages and clear them to NULL. However, we don't clear the ring page count, and hence will attempt to free the pages again. We've already cleared the address of the page array when freeing them, but we don't check for that. This causes the following crash: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000 Oops [#1] Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 20 Comm: kworker/u2:1 Not tainted 6.6.0-rc5-dirty #56 Hardware name: ucbbar,riscvemu-bare (DT) Workqueue: events_unbound io_ring_exit_work epc : io_pages_free+0x2a/0x58 ra : io_rings_free+0x3a/0x50 epc : ffffffff808811a2 ra : ffffffff80881406 sp : ffff8f80000c3cd0 status: 0000000200000121 badaddr: 0000000000000000 cause: 000000000000000d [<ffffffff808811a2>] io_pages_free+0x2a/0x58 [<ffffffff80881406>] io_rings_free+0x3a/0x50 [<ffffffff80882176>] io_ring_exit_work+0x37e/0x424 [<ffffffff80027234>] process_one_work+0x10c/0x1f4 [<ffffffff8002756e>] worker_thread+0x252/0x31c [<ffffffff8002f5e4>] kthread+0xc4/0xe0 [<ffffffff8000332a>] ret_from_fork+0xa/0x1c Check for a NULL array in io_pages_free(), but also clear the page counts when we free them to be on the safer side.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
