This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled PCI/sysfs: Protect driver's D3cold preference from user space to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: pci-sysfs-protect-driver-s-d3cold-preference-from-user-space.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 70b70a4307cccebe91388337b1c85735ce4de6ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lukas Wunner <lukas@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2023 14:48:01 +0200 Subject: PCI/sysfs: Protect driver's D3cold preference from user space From: Lukas Wunner <lukas@xxxxxxxxx> commit 70b70a4307cccebe91388337b1c85735ce4de6ff upstream. struct pci_dev contains two flags which govern whether the device may suspend to D3cold: * no_d3cold provides an opt-out for drivers (e.g. if a device is known to not wake from D3cold) * d3cold_allowed provides an opt-out for user space (default is true, user space may set to false) Since commit 9d26d3a8f1b0 ("PCI: Put PCIe ports into D3 during suspend"), the user space setting overwrites the driver setting. Essentially user space is trusted to know better than the driver whether D3cold is working. That feels unsafe and wrong. Assume that the change was introduced inadvertently and do not overwrite no_d3cold when d3cold_allowed is modified. Instead, consider d3cold_allowed in addition to no_d3cold when choosing a suspend state for the device. That way, user space may opt out of D3cold if the driver hasn't, but it may no longer force an opt in if the driver has opted out.
