When the 'v->config_ctx' eventfd_ctx reference is released we didn't set it to NULL. So if the same character device (e.g. /dev/vhost-vdpa-0) is re-opened, the 'v->config_ctx' is invalid and calling again vhost_vdpa_config_put() causes use-after-free issues like the following refcount_t underflow: refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.

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.
