Overview
About vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: Add missing bridge lock to pci_bus_lock()
One of the true positives that the cfg_access_lock lockdep effort identified is this sequence:
WARNING: CPU: 14 PID: 1 at drivers/pci/pci.c:4886 pci_bridge_secondary_bus_reset+0x5d/0x70
RIP: 0010:pci_bridge_secondary_bus_reset+0x5d/0x70
Call Trace:
Where pci_reset_bus() users are triggering unlocked secondary bus resets. Ironically pci_bus_reset(), several calls down from pci_reset_bus(), uses pci_bus_lock() before issuing the reset which locks everything but the bridge itself.
For the same motivation as adding:
bridge = pci_upstream_bridge(dev); if (bridge) pci_dev_lock(bridge);
to pci_reset_function() for the “bus” and “cxl_bus” reset cases, add pci_dev_lock() for @bus->self to pci_bus_lock().
