Subject: [PATCH v2] nfc: nci: ignore unexpected CORE_RESET_NTF and CORE_RESET_RSP
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 16:07:50 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260922080750.35929-1-ndaugoing@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921125805.224979-1-horms@kernel.org>
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.
A similar issue exists in nci_core_reset_rsp_packet(): an unexpected or
delayed response packet can prematurely complete an unrelated in-flight
request.
Fix this by ensuring CORE_RESET_NTF and CORE_RESET_RSP are only processed
by the core layer when a reset command is actively awaiting them:
- Set NCI_RESET_PENDING in nci_reset_req() when sending CORE_RESET_CMD.
- In nci_core_reset_rsp_packet(), ignore the response if NCI_RESET_PENDING
is not set. If set, clear the flag and complete the request on failure
or for NCI 1.x (checking skb->len >= sizeof(*rsp)).
- In __nci_request(), ensure NCI_RESET_PENDING is cleared upon request
completion, cancellation, or timeout.
- In nci_core_reset_ntf_packet(), skip power-on notifications (trigger
0x01, identical in NCI 1.0 and 2.0), then check and clear
NCI_RESET_PENDING before updating device fields and completing the
request. The CORE_RESET_CMD trigger value is revision-dependent
(0x00 in NCI 1.0, 0x02 in NCI 2.0), so both are accepted and gated
on NCI_RESET_PENDING alone. If unexpected, log a warning and return
0 so driver-specific handlers (such as fdp firmware patch handling)
still receive the notification.

v2:
- Do not abort the notification pipeline on unexpected CORE_RESET_NTF (return 0
instead of -EINVAL), preserving driver-level hooks (e.g. fdp firmware
patching) per Simon Horman.
- Skip power-on notifications (trigger 0x01, identical in NCI 1.0 and 2.0)
while gating both NCI 1.0 (0x00) and NCI 2.0 (0x02) command-triggered resets
on NCI_RESET_PENDING alone.
- Check NCI_RESET_PENDING in nci_core_reset_rsp_packet() to avoid completing
unrelated requests on unexpected responses.
- Explicitly check skb->len >= sizeof(*rsp) in nci_core_reset_rsp_packet()
for NCI 1.x handling.
