Subject: Null-ptr-deref in xcv_init_hw()
Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2025 15:48:42 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <76e7268f-c4e3-43a3-957f-b7246d953c6a@gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
It seems that xcv_init_hw() can be called in bgx_probe() regardless of whether
xcv_probe() has been executed, leading to a potential null pointer dereference.
The following is a call stack example:
bgx_probe
├── xcv_init_hw
│ ├── readq_relaxed(xcv->reg_base + XCV_RESET) // NULL pointer dereference
In bgx_probe(), if the PCI device ID matched PCI_DEVICE_ID_THUNDER_RGX,
xcv_init_hw is called:
pci_read_config_word(pdev, PCI_DEVICE_ID, &sdevid);
if (sdevid != PCI_DEVICE_ID_THUNDER_RGX) {
}
else{
xcv_init_hw();
}
However, xcv_init_hw() performs an MMIO read on xcv->reg_base, which is expected
to be initialized by xcv_probe():
cfg = readq_relaxed(xcv->reg_base + XCV_RESET);
Could you check this?
Best regards,
Kyungwook Boo
