Subject: [patch] x86: pci: Prevent mmconfig memory corruption
Date: Thu, 25 Feb 2010 16:42:11 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.00.1002251638230.4245@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

commit ff097ddd4 (x86/PCI: MMCONFIG: manage pci_mmcfg_region as a
list, not a table) introduced a nasty memory corruption when
pci_mmcfg_list is empty.

pci_mmcfg_check_end_bus_number() dereferences pci_mmcfg_list.prev even
when the list is empty. The following write hits some variable near to
pci_mmcfg_list.

Further down a similar problem exists, where cfg->list.next is
dereferenced unconditionally and a comparison with some variable near
to pci_mmcfg_list happens.

Add a check for the last element into the for_each_entry() loop and
remove all the other crappy logic which is just a leftover of the old
array based code which was replaced by the list conversion.
