Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] irqchip/gic-v3: Memory-safety fixes on the probe paths
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 09:49:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260925085000.753400-1-fuad.tabba@linux.dev> (raw)
Hi folks,
Changes since v1 [1]:
- Patch 3 marks the skipped CPU in broken_rdists, so it's kept
offline. (Marc, sashiko)
Three probe-time bugs in the GICv3 drivers. The kernel keeps running
after each of them, so the memory involved is live rather than on the
way to a reset.
The first two free memory an enabled ITS still points at. Boot carries
on because its_init() discards a failed probe and gic_init_bases()
discards what its_init() returns. The third is a write past the end of
redist_regs[] for an enabled GICC with a zero GICR base, on a MADT with
no GICR entries. fa2dabe57220e's commit message says such tables exist,
and I haven't seen one.
Based on Linux 7.3-rc4 (93f51579e7df2).
Cheers,
/fuad
