Subject: [PATCH v2] nvme: reject completions for requests that are not in flight
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 20:51:05 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260715005105.1115958-1-coshi036@gmail.com> (raw)

nvme_find_rq() resolves a device-supplied command id to a request with
blk_mq_tag_to_rq(), which returns whatever request last used that tag -
possibly one that is no longer in flight (freed, or never dispatched and
thus with a NULL rq->mq_hctx).  Commit e7006de6c238 ("nvme: code
command_id with a genctr for use-after-free validation") guards against
this, but its generation counter is only 4 bits wide and can be matched
by a malfunctioning device replaying command ids.  The driver then
completes a request that is not outstanding, dereferencing a NULL
rq->mq_hctx or double-completing a command:

  Oops: general protection fault ... KASAN: null-ptr-deref
  RIP: blk_mq_complete_request_remote+0xe5/0xa80 block/blk-mq.c:1319
   nvme_handle_cqe drivers/nvme/host/pci.c:1418 [inline]
   nvme_poll_cq drivers/nvme/host/pci.c:1449
   nvme_irq drivers/nvme/host/pci.c:1463

Require the request to be in flight before completing it.  The check uses
the request state, so it also covers controllers with
NVME_QUIRK_SKIP_CID_GEN.

Changes since v1:
- Drop the "malicious device" framing; describe the trigger as a
  malfunctioning controller.  Commit message only; the code is unchanged.
