Revert "PCI/MSI: Unmap MSI-X region on error"
This reverts commit 1a8d4c6ecb4c81261bcdf13556abd4a958eca202.
Commit 1a8d4c6ecb4c ("PCI/MSI: Unmap MSI-X region on error") added an
iounmap(dev->msix_base) on the error path of msix_capability_init() to
release the MSI-X region when msix_setup_interrupts() fails.
When msix_setup_interrupts() fails, the call chain is:
msix_setup_interrupts()
-> __msix_setup_interrupts()
struct pci_dev *dev __free(free_msi_irqs) = __dev;
...
return ret; // __free cleanup fires on error
The __free(free_msi_irqs) cleanup calls pci_free_msi_irqs(), which
already handles the unmap:
void pci_free_msi_irqs(struct pci_dev *dev)
{
pci_msi_teardown_msi_irqs(dev);
if (dev->msix_base) {
iounmap(dev->msix_base); // already unmapped here
dev->msix_base = NULL; // and set to NULL
}
}
So dev->msix_base is unmapped and set to NULL before
msix_setup_interrupts() returns to msix_capability_init(). The
"goto out_unmap" introduced by commit 1a8d4c6ecb4c ("PCI/MSI: Unmap
MSI-X region on error") then calls iounmap() a second time on a NULL
pointer.
This was reproduced on Intel Emerald Rapids (192 CPUs) while
running tools/testing/selftests/kexec/test_kexec_jump.sh:
WARNING: CPU#44 at iounmap+0x2a/0xe0

RDI=0 confirms iounmap() is called with NULL.
Restore the original "goto out_disable" and leave the unmap to the
existing __free(free_msi_irqs) cleanup. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: picolcd: prevent NULL pointer dereference in picolcd_send_and_wait()
In picolcd_send_and_wait(), an integer overflow of the signed loop counter
'k' can theoretically lead to a NULL pointer dereference of 'raw_data'.
If the loop executes more than INT_MAX times, 'k' becomes negative,
making the condition 'k < size' true even when 'size' is 0.
Change the type of 'k' to 'unsigned int' to prevent the overflow and
eliminate the out-of-bounds access.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the Svace static
analysis tool.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: 8250_dma: Clear stale RX state on shutdown
serial8250_release_dma() terminates RX DMA and releases the channel, but
leaves rx_running set. If the port is closed while an RX transfer is
active, the stale state remains while rxchan is NULL until the channel is
requested again on the next open.
The DesignWare BUSY workaround added by commit a7b9ce39fbe4
("serial: 8250_dw: Ensure BUSY is deasserted") calls
serial8250_rx_dma_flush() from the LCR write path during startup. This
happens before serial8250_request_dma() obtains a new RX channel. On
reopen, the stale rx_running state therefore makes the flush path pass a
NULL channel to dmaengine_pause(), causing a kernel Oops.
Clear rx_running after terminating RX DMA, matching the TX cleanup. Also
make the flush helper return if the DMA object or RX channel is not
available so startup and teardown paths cannot pass a NULL channel to the
DMAengine API. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vmwgfx: reject DX_BIND_QUERY without a DX context
vmw_cmd_dx_bind_query() unconditionally dereferences
sw_context->dx_ctx_node->ctx. Userspace can trigger a NULL pointer
dereference from any render-node fd by submitting an execbuf with
dx_context_handle == SVGA3D_INVALID_ID and a SVGA_3D_CMD_DX_BIND_QUERY
opcode in the command stream: dx_ctx_node is left NULL and the kernel
oopses on the assignment. The same NULL is then re-read in
vmw_resources_reserve() via vmw_context_get_dx_query_mob().
All sibling DX handlers fail-close on a missing dx_ctx_node using
VMW_GET_CTX_NODE(). Use the same pattern here, returning -EINVAL up
front before any relocation state is published. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vmwgfx: avoid destroy_workqueue(NULL) on vkms init failure
Two paths through vmw_vkms_init() can leave vmw->crc_workq NULL while
still leaving the rest of the driver in a state that calls
vmw_vkms_cleanup() at module unload:
1. vmw_host_get_guestinfo(GUESTINFO_VBLANK, ...) failing or
returning an oversized buffer -- the common case on hosts
without a VBLANK guestinfo entry -- early-returned before the
workqueue allocation.
2. alloc_ordered_workqueue() returning NULL on memory pressure.
vmw_vkms_cleanup() then calls destroy_workqueue(NULL), which
dereferences wq->name and panics.
Fix the first case by removing the early return: vmw->vkms_enabled
is already false on the rpci-failure path so no work will ever be
queued, and allocating the workqueue unconditionally keeps the
control flow simple. Fix the second case by guarding the cleanup
with a NULL check, since alloc_ordered_workqueue() can still fail
under low memory. |

fbcon: fix NULL pointer dereference for a console without vc_data
fbcon_new_modelist() runs when a framebuffer's modelist changes. For each
console mapped to it with fb_display[i].mode set, it reads vc_cons[i].d and
passes the vc_num to fbcon_set_disp(). This assumes a console with a mode
set has a vc_data, but it can be NULL. fbcon_set_disp() sets
fb_display[i].mode before it checks vc_data, and fbcon_deinit() leaves the
mode set after the vc_data is freed. fbcon_new_modelist() then dereferences
the NULL vc_data.
Keep fb_display[i].mode set only while the console has a vc_data. Check
vc_data before setting the mode in fbcon_set_disp(), and clear the mode in
fbcon_deinit(). The existing mode check in fbcon_new_modelist() then skips
such consoles. |

RDMA/mlx5: Fix devx subscribe-event unwind NULL dereference
MLX5_IB_METHOD_DEVX_SUBSCRIBE_EVENT() links event_sub into sub_list
before initializing the fields used by the shared error path.
If eventfd_ctx_fdget() then fails, the unwind path dereferences
event_sub->ev_file in uverbs_uobject_put() and calls
subscribe_event_xa_dealloc() with an unset xa_key_level1.
subscribe_event_xa_alloc() creates the XA entry exactly once for a given
key_level1, on the first occurrence of that key. The unwind path must
therefore call subscribe_event_xa_dealloc() exactly once for it as well.
Enforce that by adding devx_key_in_sub_list() and calling
subscribe_event_xa_dealloc() only when the last matching pending entry is
being cleaned up. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dax/kmem: account for partial discontiguous resource upon removal
When dev_dax_kmem_probe() partially succeeds (at least one range is
mapped) but a subsequent range fails request_mem_region() or
add_memory_driver_managed(), the probe silently continues, ultimately
returning success, but with the corresponding range resource NULL'ed out.
dev_dax_kmem_remove() iterates over all dax_device ranges regardless of if
the underlying resource exists. When remove_memory() is called later, it
returns 0 because the memory was never added which causes
dev_dax_kmem_remove() to incorrectly assume the (nonexistent) resource can
be removed and attempts cleanup on a NULL pointer.
Fix this by skipping these ranges altogether, noting that these cases are
considered success, such that the cleanup is still reached when all
actually-added ranges are successfully removed. |

vmalloc: fix NULL pointer dereference in is_vm_area_hugepages()
find_vm_area() can return NULL if the given address is not a valid vmalloc
area. Check the return value before dereferencing it to avoid a kernel
crash. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: fib6: fix NULL deref in fib6_walk_continue() on multi-batch dump
inet6_dump_fib() saves its progress in cb->args[1] as a positional
index within the current hash chain. Between batches, a concurrent
fib6_new_table() can insert a new table at the chain head, shifting
all existing entries. The saved index then lands on a different
table, causing fib6_dump_table() to set w->root to the wrong table
while w->node still points into the previous one.
fib6_walk_continue() dereferences w->node->parent (NULL) and panics:

Fix by storing tb->tb6_id in cb->args[1] instead of a positional
index. On resume, skip entries until the id matches; a concurrent
head-insert can never match the saved id, so the walker always
resumes on the correct table. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm era: fix NULL pointer dereference in metadata_open()
metadata_open() returns NULL when kzalloc_obj() fails, but the
caller era_ctr() only checks IS_ERR(md). Since IS_ERR(NULL)
returns false, the NULL pointer is treated as a valid result
and later assigned to era->md, leading to a NULL pointer
dereference when the metadata is accessed.
Fix this by returning ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) on allocation failure,
consistent with dm-cache-metadata.c, dm-thin-metadata.c, and
dm-clone-metadata.c which all use ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) for the
same pattern. |

ocfs2: fix NULL h_transaction deref in ocfs2_assure_trans_credits
[BUG]
A direct write over unwritten extents can panic the kernel in
ocfs2_assure_trans_credits() when the journal aborts during DIO
completion. The crash is a general protection fault from a NULL pointer
dereference.
[CAUSE]
ocfs2_dio_end_io_write() loops over a direct write's unwritten extents,
marking each written under a single journal handle. If the journal
aborts (for example after an I/O error) while the extent tree is being
updated, the handle is left aborted with its transaction pointer
cleared. The extent merge treats that failure as not critical and
reports success, so the loop keeps using the handle.
ocfs2_assure_trans_credits() reads the handle's remaining credits
without first checking whether the handle is aborted, and that read
dereferences the cleared transaction pointer.
[FIX]
A journal abort is recorded in the handle itself, so callers are
expected to test the handle rather than rely on a returned error.
Make ocfs2_assure_trans_credits() do that, as the other ocfs2 journal
helpers already do, and return -EROFS when the handle is aborted. |

firmware: arm_ffa: Fix NULL dereference in ffa_partition_info_get()
ffa_partition_info_get() passes uuid_str directly to uuid_parse()
without a NULL check. When a caller passes NULL, uuid_parse() ->
__uuid_parse() -> uuid_is_valid() dereferences the pointer, causing
a kernel panic:

| 0000000000000040
| pc : uuid_parse+0x40/0xac
| lr : ffa_partition_info_get+0x1c/0x94 [arm_ffa]
Add a NULL guard before uuid_parse() so a NULL argument returns
-ENODEV instead of crashing. Callers are expected to always supply
a valid partition UUID, so NULL is not a supported input. |

serial: 8250_mid: Fix NULL function pointer dereference on DNV/ICX-D/SNR platforms
Commit b1b4efea05a5 ("serial: 8250_mid: Disable DMA for selected
platforms") replaced the dnv_board setup and exit callbacks with
PTR_IF(false, ...), which evaluates to NULL. However, the three call
sites in mid8250_probe() and mid8250_remove() unconditionally
dereference these function pointers without NULL checks, causing a NULL
pointer dereference (kernel oops) on any Denverton (DNV), Ice Lake Xeon
D (ICX-D/CDF), or Snowridge (SNR) platform.
Fix this by adding the missing NULL checks before calling the setup and
exit callbacks. |

bonding: fix devconf_all NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled
When booting with the 'ipv6.disable=1' parameter, the devconf_all is
never initialized because inet6_init() exits before addrconf_init() is
called which initializes it. bond_send_validate(), however, will still
call bond_ns_send_all() even ipv6 is indeed disabled. It will lead to
NULL derefence of net->ipv6.devconf_all in ip6_pol_route().

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfp: Check resource mutex allocation
nfp_cpp_resource_find() allocates a CPP mutex handle for the matching
resource-table entry and then reports success. nfp_resource_try_acquire()
immediately passes that handle to nfp_cpp_mutex_trylock().
However, nfp_cpp_mutex_alloc() returns NULL on failure. If that happens
for a matching table entry, the resource lookup still returns success and
the following trylock dereferences a NULL mutex pointer while opening the
resource.
nfp_resource_acquire() already treats failure to allocate the table mutex
as -ENOMEM. Do the same for the resource mutex and fail the lookup before
publishing the rest of the resource handle.
