uacce: ensure safe queue release with state management
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
uacce: ensure safe queue release with state management
Directly calling put_queue carries risks since it cannot guarantee that resources of uacce_queue have been fully released beforehand. So adding a stop_queue operation for the UACCE_CMD_PUT_Q command and leaving the put_queue operation to the final resource release ensures safety.
Queue states are defined as follows: - UACCE_Q_ZOMBIE: Initial state - UACCE_Q_INIT: After opening uacce - UACCE_Q_STARTED: After start is issued via ioctl
When executing poweroff -f in virt while accelerator are still working, uacce_fops_release and uacce_remove may execute concurrently. This can cause uacce_put_queue within uacce_fops_release to access a NULL ops pointer. Therefore, add state checks to prevent accessing freed pointers.
