Description Rohit Keshri 2024-03-27 11:40:47 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

platform/x86: p2sb: Allow p2sb_bar() calls during PCI device probe

p2sb_bar() unhides P2SB device to get resources from the device. It
guards the operation by locking pci_rescan_remove_lock so that parallel
rescans do not find the P2SB device. However, this lock causes deadlock
when PCI bus rescan is triggered by /sys/bus/pci/rescan. The rescan
locks pci_rescan_remove_lock and probes PCI devices. When PCI devices
call p2sb_bar() during probe, it locks pci_rescan_remove_lock again.
Hence the deadlock.

To avoid the deadlock, do not lock pci_rescan_remove_lock in p2sb_bar().
Instead, do the lock at fs_initcall. Introduce p2sb_cache_resources()
for fs_initcall which gets and caches the P2SB resources. At p2sb_bar(),
refer the cache and return to the caller.

Before operating the device at P2SB DEVFN for resource cache, check
that its device class is PCI_CLASS_MEMORY_OTHER 0x0580 that PCH
specifications define. This avoids unexpected operation to other devices
at the same DEVFN.

Created kernel tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 2271798]

Comment 4 Justin M. Forbes 2024-03-27 20:27:13 UTC
This was fixed for Fedora with the 6.7.3 stable kernel updates.
