Subject: [PATCH v2] cxl/cdat: Fix uninitialized stack use in endpoint bandwidth gathering
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 14:09:12 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812060912.54932-1-kanie@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)

cxl_endpoint_gather_bandwidth() declares three access_coordinate arrays on
the stack - pci_coord, sw_coord and ep_coord - without initializing them,
and relies on its helpers to fill every member. None of them does.
cxl_pci_get_bandwidth() and cxl_port_get_switch_dport_bandwidth() assign
only read_bandwidth and write_bandwidth, and
__cxl_coordinates_combine() assigns an output bandwidth only when both
input bandwidths are non-zero. Every member a producer declines to set is
read back as whatever was on the stack.

Both cases occur on real topologies. The latency members of pci_coord and
sw_coord are never written, yet __cxl_coordinates_combine() sums them
unconditionally, so the latency reads are undefined on every call. And a
device whose CDAT DSLBIS reports no bandwidth for an access class leaves
perf->cdat_coord zero for that class, which is exactly the condition that
makes __cxl_coordinates_combine() skip the bandwidth assignment and leave
the ep_coord entry untouched.

The ep_coord case escapes the function: cxl_bandwidth_add() accumulates it
into the per-upstream-port aggregate that is published through the region's
access coordinate sysfs attributes, so stack contents are reported to
userspace as a bandwidth figure. The latency sums are discarded by
cxl_bandwidth_add() rather than published, but they are still computed from
uninitialized memory.

Zero initialize the three arrays. Zero is already the value this code uses
for "not reported" - both the __cxl_coordinates_combine() guard and
coordinates_valid() test for it - so a member no producer sets now reads
back as unknown rather than as a plausible number.

This was patch 6/8 of the "cxl: Assorted fixes" series [1]. Per review
feedback that series is not being reworked as a whole; the fixes are resent
individually instead. Patches 1, 2 and 7 of the series are dropped, as those
issues are already fixed in cxl/next.

v1->v2:
- rebase onto cxl/next
- rewrite the commit message to describe the behaviour rather than narrate
  the code change (Alison Schofield)
