Subject: [PATCH v2] cxl/port: Fix missing port lock in cxl_dport_remove()
Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2026 17:35:33 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260608223533.583278-1-terry.bowman@amd.com> (raw)

xa_erase() in cxl_dport_remove() runs without the port device lock,
creating a race with any caller that does xa_load() on port->dports
and then dereferences the returned dport pointer. A concurrent
cxl_dport_remove() can erase and free the dport between the xa_load()
and the caller acquiring the port lock, causing a use-after-free.

For non-root ports the port lock is already held by the caller on two
paths:

1. Driver unbind: devres_release_all() is called from
   __device_release_driver() which holds port->dev.mutex.

2. Dynamic endpoint removal: cxl_detach_ep() takes the port lock
   before calling del_dports() -> del_dport() -> devres_release_group(),
   which synchronously runs cxl_dport_remove().

Use cond_cxl_root_lock/unlock(), which only acquires the port lock when
the port is a root port and the lock is therefore not already held.
This matches the pattern used in __devm_cxl_add_dport() for the same
reason.

The write-side fix to cxl_dport_remove() is necessary but not
sufficient. Callers that obtain a dport pointer via cxl_mem_find_port()
use a lockless xa_load() and must not dereference that pointer until a
lock that excludes free_dport()/kfree() is held.

For root ports, dport_to_host() returns uport_dev, so all three devres
actions (free_dport, cxl_dport_remove, cxl_dport_unlink) are registered
on uport_dev. __device_release_driver() holds uport_dev->mutex for the
full teardown sequence including kfree(dport). Holding uport_dev->mutex
on the read side therefore excludes concurrent dport freeing.

Fix rcd_pcie_cap_emit() by passing NULL to cxl_mem_find_port() to avoid
capturing a lockless dport pointer, then re-fetching dport inside the
uport_dev guard via cxl_find_dport_by_dev(). The previous guard on
root->dev was wrong: cxl_dport_remove() releases root->dev before
free_dport() runs, so root->dev does not protect against concurrent
kfree(dport).

Fix cxl_mem_probe() similarly: pass NULL to cxl_mem_find_port(), then
re-fetch dport inside scoped_guard(device, &parent_port->dev) for the
VH path, and re-fetch again inside scoped_guard(device, uport_dev) for
the RCH path. This closes both the TOCTOU window between the lockless
xa_load() and the guard acquisition, and the window between the two
sequential guards in the RCH path where a concurrent surprise removal
could free dport before devm_cxl_add_endpoint() dereferences it.
