I think when the description is freed, it maybe used again because of
race, then it's next maybe pointer a value that should not be freed

To prevent this, list_for_each_entry_safe should be used.

Rewrite the commit header:

    dmaengine: idxd: Fix possible Use-After-Free in irq_process_work_list

    The description has been freed in idxd_desc_complete(), should not be used
    in iteration, so replace list_for_each_entry with list_for_each_entry_safe
    to prevent the accessing

I see what you are pointing at. I think you will also need a
list_del(&desc->list);
immediately after the comments.

Because if the descriptor is freed and given out to a different thread while the code is still walking the list, the iterator may hit a bad pointer due to the freed descriptor pointing to something else.

Also, please include a Fixes tag for the fix. Thanks!
