Subject: CVE-2022-49434: PCI: Avoid pci_dev_lock() AB/BA deadlock with sriov_numvfs_store()
Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2025 03:11:48 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2025022656-CVE-2022-49434-4a2c@gregkh> (raw)
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: Avoid pci_dev_lock() AB/BA deadlock with sriov_numvfs_store()
The sysfs sriov_numvfs_store() path acquires the device lock before the
config space access lock:
sriov_numvfs_store
device_lock # A (1) acquire device lock
sriov_configure
vfio_pci_sriov_configure # (for example)
vfio_pci_core_sriov_configure
pci_disable_sriov
sriov_disable
pci_cfg_access_lock
pci_wait_cfg # B (4) wait for dev->block_cfg_access == 0
Previously, pci_dev_lock() acquired the config space access lock before the
device lock:
pci_dev_lock
pci_cfg_access_lock
dev->block_cfg_access = 1 # B (2) set dev->block_cfg_access = 1
device_lock # A (3) wait for device lock
Any path that uses pci_dev_lock(), e.g., pci_reset_function(), may
deadlock with sriov_numvfs_store() if the operations occur in the sequence
(1) (2) (3) (4).
Avoid the deadlock by reversing the order in pci_dev_lock() so it acquires
the device lock before the config space access lock, the same as the
sriov_numvfs_store() path.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
