The reason is that the two actions call function\npci_disable_sriov(). The num_VFs is checked to determine whether to\nrelease the corresponding resources. During the second calling, num_VFs\nis not 0 and the resource release function is called. However, the\ncorresponding resource has been released during the first invoking.\nTherefore, the problem occurs:\n\n[15277.839633][T50670] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000020\n...\n[15278.131557][T50670] Call trace:\n[15278.134686][T50670]  klist_put+0x28/0x12c\n[15278.138682][T50670]  klist_del+0x14/0x20\n[15278.142592][T50670]  device_del+0xbc/0x3c0\n[15278.146676][T50670]  pci_remove_bus_device+0x84/0x120\n[15278.151714][T50670]  pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device+0x6c/0x80\n[15278.157447][T50670]  pci_iov_remove_virtfn+0xb4/0x12c\n[15278.162485][T50670]  sriov_disable+0x50/0x11c\n[15278.166829][T50670]  pci_disable_sriov+0x24/0x30\n[15278.171433][T50670]  hnae3_unregister_ae_algo_prepare+0x60/0x90 [hnae3]\n[15278.178039][T50670]  hclge_exit+0x28/0xd0 [hclge]\n[15278.182730][T50670]  __se_sys_delete_module.isra.0+0x164/0x230\n[15278.188550][T50670]  __arm64_sys_delete_module+0x1c/0x30\n[15278.193848][T50670]  invoke_syscall+0x50/0x11c\n[15278.198278][T50670]  el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x158/0x164\n[15278.203837][T50670]  do_el0_svc+0x34/0xcc\n[15278.207834][T50670]  el0_svc+0x20/0x30\n\nFor details, see the following figure.\n\n     rmmod hclge              disable VFs\n----------------------------------------------------\nhclge_exit()            sriov_numvfs_store()\n  ...                     device_lock()\n  pci_disable_sriov()     hns3_pci_sriov_configure()\n                            pci_disable_sriov()\n                              sriov_disable()\n    sriov_disable()             if !num_VFs :\n      if !num_VFs :               return;\n        return;                 sriov_del_vfs()\n      sriov_del_vfs()             ...\n        ...                       klist_put()\n        klist_put()               ...\n        ...                     num_VFs = 0;\n      num_VFs = 0;        device_unlock();\n\nIn this patch, when driver is removing, we get the device_lock()\nto protect num_VFs, just like sriov_numvfs_store().","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-476"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/590a4b2d4e0b73586e88bce9b8135b593355ec09","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/719edd9f3372ce7fb3b157647c6658672946874b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/76b155e14d9b182ce83d32ada2d0d7219ea8c8dd","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7ae4e56de7dbd0999578246a536cf52a63f4056d","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a0df055775f30850c0da8f7dab40d67c0fd63908"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:57:34.731061660+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-50296","score":0.00254,"percentile":0.16999,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
