Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
dmaengine: idxd: Fix leaking event log memory<br />
<br />
During the device remove process, the device is reset, causing the<br />
configuration registers to go back to their default state, which is<br />
zero. As the driver is checking if the event log support was enabled<br />
before deallocating, it will fail if a reset happened before.<br />
<br />
Do not check if the support was enabled, the check for &#39;idxd->evl&#39;<br />
being valid (only allocated if the HW capability is available) is<br />
enough.
