Subject: [PATCH v2] cxl/events: Test CME counter expiry with equality, not bitwise AND
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 16:22:14 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260922082214.3526355-1-kanie@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
The Memory Event Type field in the General Media and DRAM event records
is an enumeration, not a bitmask. The validity checks for the advanced
programmable CME counter expiration event (05h) test the field with a
bitwise AND, so types 01h, 03h, 04h and 06h match it as well.
A device reporting one of those types trips WARN_ON_ONCE once the
general media or DRAM tracepoint is enabled, which is the case anywhere
rasdaemon collects CXL events. Under panic_on_warn=1 that kills the
machine.
Compare the type field for equality instead. Type 05h records that do
violate the spec conditions still warn.
Fixes: cd3b36cfc659 ("cxl/events: Add extra validity checks for corrected memory error count in General Media Event Record")
Fixes: d8145bb8af5c ("cxl/events: Add extra validity checks for CVME count in DRAM Event Record")

Found by code inspection during review of a downstream backport of
these two patches. Reproduced in a QEMU CXL topology by injecting
General Media events through the cxl-inject-general-media-event QMP
command: a type 01h event warns in cxl_event_trace_record() without
the fix and is traced without a warning with it; type 05h events that
violate the spec conditions still warn.
Changes since v1 [1]:
- Collect the commit log suggested by Dave Jiang and the subject
suggested by Alison Schofield.
- Move the reproducer explanation below '---' (Dave Jiang).
- Add the 'Assisted-by: LLM' tag (Dave Jiang).
