Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's MediaTek PCIe driver. When a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) port fails to enable, the associated Interrupt Request (IRQ) domains are not properly released. This resource leak can accumulate over time, potentially leading to a denial of service (DoS) due to resource exhaustion.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-25 10:09:29 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

PCI: mediatek: Fix IRQ domain leak when port fails to enable

When mtk_pcie_enable_port() fails, mtk_pcie_port_free() removes the port
from pcie->ports and frees the port structure. However, the IRQ domains set
up earlier by mtk_pcie_init_irq_domain() are never freed.

Fix this by refactoring mtk_pcie_irq_teardown() into a per-port helper,
mtk_pcie_irq_teardown_port(), and calling it from mtk_pcie_setup() when
mtk_pcie_enable_port() fails. Since the IRQ teardown must only happen in
the probe error path (during resume, child devices may have active MSI
mappings and the NOIRQ context prohibits sleeping locks),
mtk_pcie_enable_port() is changed to return an error code so callers can
distinguish the two paths and act accordingly.

This issue was reported by Sashiko while reviewing the EcoNet EN7528 SoC
support series.
