If a bridge is hot-added without any bus number available for its downstream bus, pci_hp_add_bridge() will fail. However, the driver proceeds regardless, and the kernel crashes. This crash can be reproduced with the QEMU command: qemu-system-x86_64 -machine pc-q35-2.10 \ -kernel bzImage \ -drive "file=img,format=raw" \ -m 2048 -smp 2 -enable-kvm \ -append "console=ttyS0 root=/dev/sda" \ -nographic \ -device pcie-root-port,bus=pcie.0,id=rp1,slot=1,bus-reserve=0 then hot-plug a bridge at runtime with the QEMU command: device_add pcie-pci-bridge,id=br1,bus=rp1 and the kernel crashes: pcieport 0000:00:03.0: pciehp: Slot(1): Button press: will power on in 5 sec pcieport 0000:00:03.0: pciehp: Slot(1): Card present pcieport 0000:00:03.0: pciehp: Slot(1): Link Up pci 0000:01:00.0: [1b36:000e] type 01 class 0x060400 PCIe to PCI/PCI-X bridge pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 0 [mem 0x00000000-0x000000ff 64bit] pci 0000:01:00.0: PCI bridge to [bus 00] pci 0000:01:00.0: bridge window [io 0x0000-0x0fff] pci 0000:01:00.0: bridge window [mem 0x00000000-0x000fffff] pci 0000:01:00.0: bridge window [mem 0x00000000-0x000fffff 64bit pref] pci 0000:01:00.0: No bus number available for hot-added bridge (note: kernel should abort hot-plugging right here) pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 0 [mem 0xfe800000-0xfe8000ff 64bit]: assigned pcieport 0000:00:03.0: PCI bridge to [bus 01] pcieport 0000:00:03.0: bridge window [io 0x1000-0x1fff] pcieport 0000:00:03.0: bridge window [mem 0xfe800000-0xfe9fffff] pcieport 0000:00:03.0: bridge window [mem 0xfe000000-0xfe1fffff 64bit pref] shpchp 0000:01:00.0: HPC vendor_id 1b36 device_id e ss_vid 0 ss_did 0 shpchp 0000:01:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000000da PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI CPU: 0 PID: 46 Comm: irq/24-pciehp Not tainted 6.9.0-rc1-00001-g2e0239d47d75 #33 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.16.2-debian-1.16.2-1 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:shpc_init+0x3fb/0x9d0 [stack dump and register dump cut out] Fix this by aborting the hot-plug if pci_hp_add_bridge() fails.
