From ced5b697a76d325e7a7ac7d382dbbb632c765093 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brandon Phiilps Date: Wed, 10 Feb 2010 01:20:06 -0800 Subject: x86: Avoid race condition in pci_enable_msix() Keep chip_data in create_irq_nr and destroy_irq. When two drivers are setting up MSI-X at the same time via pci_enable_msix() there is a race. See this dmesg excerpt: [ 85.170610] ixgbe 0000:02:00.1: irq 97 for MSI/MSI-X [ 85.170611] alloc irq_desc for 99 on node -1 [ 85.170613] igb 0000:08:00.1: irq 98 for MSI/MSI-X [ 85.170614] alloc kstat_irqs on node -1 [ 85.170616] alloc irq_2_iommu on node -1 [ 85.170617] alloc irq_desc for 100 on node -1 [ 85.170619] alloc kstat_irqs on node -1 [ 85.170621] alloc irq_2_iommu on node -1 [ 85.170625] ixgbe 0000:02:00.1: irq 99 for MSI/MSI-X [ 85.170626] alloc irq_desc for 101 on node -1 [ 85.170628] igb 0000:08:00.1: irq 100 for MSI/MSI-X [ 85.170630] alloc kstat_irqs on node -1 [ 85.170631] alloc irq_2_iommu on node -1 [ 85.170635] alloc irq_desc for 102 on node -1 [ 85.170636] alloc kstat_irqs on node -1 [ 85.170639] alloc irq_2_iommu on node -1 [ 85.170646] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000088 As you can see igb and ixgbe are both alternating on create_irq_nr() via pci_enable_msix() in their probe function. ixgbe: While looping through irq_desc_ptrs[] via create_irq_nr() ixgbe choses irq_desc_ptrs[102] and exits the loop, drops vector_lock and calls dynamic_irq_init. Then it sets irq_desc_ptrs[102]->chip_data = NULL via dynamic_irq_init(). igb: Grabs the vector_lock now and starts looping over irq_desc_ptrs[] via create_irq_nr(). It gets to irq_desc_ptrs[102] and does this: cfg_new = irq_desc_ptrs[102]->chip_data; if (cfg_new->vector != 0) continue; This hits the NULL deref. Another possible race exists via pci_disable_msix() in a driver or in the number of error paths that call free_msi_irqs(): destroy_irq() dynamic_irq_cleanup() which sets desc->chip_data = NULL ...race window... desc->chip_data = cfg; Remove the save and restore code for cfg in create_irq_nr() and destroy_irq() and take the desc->lock when checking the irq_cfg.
