Subject: [PATCH] usb: xhci: validate CAPLENGTH in xhci_gen_setup()
Author: erdaitianjiao@gmail.com
#syz test
xhci_hcd can be bound to arbitrary PCI devices via the
driver_override sysfs knob. When this happens to a device whose
MMIO registers are not xHCI capability registers,
xhci_gen_setup() reads CAPLENGTH from the foreign register
layout and uses it as a byte offset to compute op_regs.
A non-xHCI device can return a CAPLENGTH value that is
- not large enough to fit the capability register block, or
- not 4-byte aligned (e.g. the NVMe CAP register's low byte is
0xff, which becomes CAPLENGTH = 0xff).
The unaligned case is especially harmful on arm64: MMIO is
Device memory and Device-nGnRE accesses require natural
alignment, so readl(&op_regs->command) faults with an
alignment exception even when the address is within the
ioremapped region.
Validate CAPLENGTH in xhci_gen_setup() and fail probe with
-ENODEV if the value is smaller than 0x20 (capability registers
are 32 bytes per the xHCI spec), not 4-byte aligned, or leaves
no room for the operational register space within the mapped
region.
The run_regs_off read on the next line has the same shape, but
is not reachable on the xhci_halt code path and is left
untouched here.
Reproduced on a QEMU virt machine with a syzkaller repro that
unbinds the NVMe driver on 0000:00:02.0 and binds xhci_hcd via
driver_override. Before this patch the kernel Oopses and
panics; after, the probe is rejected cleanly (verified with 46
consecutive probe attempts, zero Oopses).
