Currently the region driver assumes there\nare none. As such the CXL core creates a special pass through decoder\ninstance without a commit/reset callback.\n\nPrior to this patch, the ->reset() callback was called unconditionally when\ncalling cxl_region_decode_reset. Thus a configuration with 1 Host Bridge,\n1 Root Port, and one directly attached CXL type 3 device or multiple CXL\ntype 3 devices attached to downstream ports of a switch can cause a null\npointer dereference.\n\nBefore the fix, a kernel crash was observed when we destroy the region, and\na pass through decoder is reset.\n\nThe issue can be reproduced as below,\n 1) create a region with a CXL setup which includes a HB with a\n single root port under which a memdev is attached directly.\n 2) destroy the region with cxl destroy-region regionX -f." } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "n/a" } ] } ] }, "affects": { "vendor": { "vendor_data": [ { "vendor_name": "Linux", "product": { "product_data": [ { "product_name": "Linux", "version": { "version_data": [ { "version_affected": "<", "version_name": "176baefb2eb5", "version_value": "a04c7d062b53" }, { "version_value": "not down converted", "x_cve_json_5_version_data": { "versions": [ { "version": "6.0", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.12", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.2", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ], "defaultStatus": "affected" } } ] } } ] } } ] } }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a04c7d062b537ff787d00da95bdfe343260d4beb", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a04c7d062b537ff787d00da95bdfe343260d4beb" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4fa4302d6dc7de7e8e74dc7405611a2efb4bf54b", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4fa4302d6dc7de7e8e74dc7405611a2efb4bf54b" } ] }, "generator": { "engine": "bippy-9e1c9544281a" } }
