This simple patch set fixed some serious security issues found when DPC error injection and NVMe SSD hotplug brute force test were doing -- race condition between DPC handler and pciehp, AER interrupt handlers, caused system hang and system with DPC feature couldn't recover to normal working state as expected (NVMe instance lost, mount operation hang, race PCIe access caused uncorrectable errors reported alternatively etc). With this patch set applied, stable 5.9-rc6 on ICS (Ice Lake SP platform, see https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/microarchitectures/ice_lake_(server)) could pass the PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD brute force hotplug test with any time interval between hot-remove and plug-in operation tens of times without any errors occur and system works normal. With this patch set applied, system with DPC feature could recover from NON-FATAL and FATAL errors injection test and works as expected. System works smoothly when errors happen while hotplug is doing, no uncorrectable errors found. Brute DPC error injection script: for i in {0..100} do setpci -s 64:02.0 0x196.w=000a setpci -s 65:00.0 0x04.w=0544 mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /root/nvme sleep 1 done Other details see every commits description part. This patch set could be applied to stable 5.9-rc6 directly. Help to review and test. V2: changed according to review by Andy Shevchenko. V3: changed patch 4/5 to simpler coding. Thanks, Ethan Ethan Zhao (5): PCI: define a function to check and wait till port finish DPC handling PCI: pciehp: check and wait port status out of DPC before handling DLLSC and PDC PCI/ERR: get device before call device driver to avoid NULL pointer reference PCI: only return true when dev io state is really changed PCI/ERR: don't mix io state not changed and no driver together drivers/pci/hotplug/pciehp_hpc.c | 4 +++- drivers/pci/pci.h | 34 +++++--------------------------- drivers/pci/pcie/err.c | 18 +++++++++++++++-- include/linux/pci.h | 31 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 55 insertions(+), 32 deletions(-) -- 2.18.4
