Subject: [PATCH 6.18 55/94] nvmet: pci-epf: fix use-after-free in nvmet_pci_epf_exec_iod_work()
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 15:25:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825132544.055959110@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260825132541.887883084@linuxfoundation.org>

6.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Shin'ichiro Kawasaki <shinichiro.kawasaki@wdc.com>

commit c9e9bb757971485b4e8414b1744507af186d72c9 upstream.

nvmet_pci_epf_exec_iod_work() submits an I/O command with req->execute()
and then waits for the command to complete and transfers the data back
to the host. This wait is not needed for commands that do not transfer
data from the device to the host. To decide whether that wait is needed,
it reads iod->data_len and iod->dma_dir after calling req->execute().

However, once req->execute() is called, the command may complete
asynchronously on another CPU. For commands that do not require a
device-to-host data transfer, nvmet_pci_epf_queue_response() calls
nvmet_pci_epf_complete_iod() directly, which can free the iod before it
reads iod->data_len and iod->dma_dir, resulting in the KFENCE use-after-
free:

 BUG: KFENCE: use-after-free read in nvmet_pci_epf_exec_iod_work+0x288/0x798 [nvmet_pci_epf]

 Use-after-free read at 0x00000000fdfa6d03 (in kfence-#63):

  worker_thread+0x18c/0x30c
  kthread+0x130/0x140
  ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20

Fix this by referring to iod->data_len and iod->dma_dir before calling
req->execute(). The remaining iod accesses such as iod->status are only
reached on the device-to-host read path. In this case,
nvmet_pci_epf_queue_response() signals iod->done instead of freeing the
iod, so the iod stays valid.
