[PATCH] PowerNV/PCI: Fix NULL PCI controller

[PATCH] PowerNV/PCI: Fix NULL PCI controller

[Mike Qiu]

In pnv_pci_read_config() or pnv_pci_write_config(), we never check if
the PCI controller is valid before converting that into platform
dependent one, this is very dangerous. 

To avoid this potential risks, the patch check PCI controller first
before use it.

I don't think there's any remote possibility of that happening, is
there ?

If it does, maybe it warrants a WARN_ON...

Yes, I agree, I don't exactly mean that it maybe happen, but the code
try to check the pci_controller pointer and the way it try is useless,
because if this happens, the system will crash before check: try to access
the "NULL" pointer.

My patch just makes the code more stable and robust.

Anyway, I think it's better to remove the check code as it is useless, as it
will shows that this "NULL" pci_controller pointer may happen...

Thanks

Ok. It *might* still be worth adding a BUG_ON then in pci_bus_to_host()
itself ... no big deal either way.

Cheers,
Ben.

OK, you mean the code will remain the same and my patch is worthless?

Anyway, it will be OK for me. But I hope it can be accept for more stable
reason.

This is powerpc code, so I'm kibitzing here, but it was cc'd to linux-pci :)

There should be no way to get a struct pci_bus * where bus->sysdata
(== "hose") is NULL.  The sysdata pointer is always supplied to
pci_create_root_bus() (or a similar interface that calls
pci_create_root_bus()), so every root bus has a valid sysdata pointer.
 And every child bus inherits the sysdata pointer of its parent (in
pci_alloc_child_bus()).  Therefore, every pci_bus should have a valid
sysdata pointer.

So I think you should just remove even the existing "if (hose ==
NULL)" check.  That way, if bus->sysdata actually *does* turn out to
be NULL, we'll oops on the null pointer dereference, get a nice
backtrace, and have a chance to fix the problem.  Testing and
returning an error means whatever bug or memory corruption caused the
null pointer will most likely be ignored.

Yes, I agree with you, because it is useless, and meaningless. Also
it never achieve its goals even if the "hose==NULL". 

So I suggest either use my patch or remove that check code.
If the second case, I will write v2 patch to remove that check code.
I don't know what's to go for next step, it depends on the
maintainer :)
