Subject: [PATCH] cxl/region: Fix null pointer dereference due to pass through decoder commit
Date: Thu, 18 Aug 2022 17:42:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220818164210.2084-1-Jonathan.Cameron@huawei.com> (raw)
Not all decoders have a commit callback.
The CXL specification allows a host bridge with a single root port to
have no explicit HDM decoders. Currently we assumes there are none.
As such we create a special pass through decoder instance without
a commit callback.
Prior to this patch, the commit callback was called unconditionally.
Thus a configuration with 1 Host Bridge, 1 Root Port, 1 switch with
multiple downstream ports below which there are multiple CXL type 3
devices results in a situation where committing the region causes
a null pointer dereference.

We could fix this with a stub function perhaps as an alternative?
