Subject: [PATCH 1/1] nfc: nci: ignore unexpected CORE_RESET_NTF
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 09:33:37 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918013337.82214-2-ndaugoing@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260918013337.82214-1-ndaugoing@gmail.com>
From: Yuchao Zhang <ndaugoing@gmail.com>
Commit bcd684aace34 ("net/nfc/nci: Support NCI 2.x initial sequence")
added handling of CORE_RESET_NTF in nci_core_reset_ntf_packet(). When
received, it updates ndev->nci_ver, ndev->manufact_id, and
ndev->manufact_specific_info, and calls nci_req_complete(ndev,
NCI_STATUS_OK) to finish the pending reset request.
However, unlike other notification handlers in ntf.c (which validate
ndev->state before completing requests), nci_core_reset_ntf_packet()
does not check whether a core reset request is actually pending.
If an unsolicited or delayed CORE_RESET_NTF arrives (e.g. after a reset
command times out or from a misbehaving NFCC), it unconditionally:
1. Completes whatever request is currently in-flight (such as CORE_INIT,
RF_DISCOVER, or CONN_CREATE) with NCI_STATUS_OK, leading to kernel
state desynchronization.
2. Overwrites ndev->nci_ver and manufacturer info. Because
ndev->nci_ver is used as a selector for subsequent packet formats
and parsers (e.g., in nci_open_device() and nci_core_init_rsp_packet()),
unexpectedly modifying it can cause protocol format confusion.
Introduce an NCI_RESET_PENDING flag to ensure CORE_RESET_NTF is only
processed when a reset command is actively awaiting it:
- Set NCI_RESET_PENDING in nci_reset_req() when sending CORE_RESET_CMD.
- In nci_core_reset_rsp_packet(), if the reset failed or if handling
NCI 1.x (where no notification is expected), clear NCI_RESET_PENDING
and complete the request immediately.
- In __nci_request(), ensure NCI_RESET_PENDING is cleared upon request
completion, cancellation, or timeout.
- In nci_core_reset_ntf_packet(), check and clear NCI_RESET_PENDING
before updating device fields and completing the request. If the flag
is not set, log a warning and drop the packet.
