Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: Fix pci_device_is_present() for VFs by checking PF
pci_device_is_present() previously didn't work for VFs because it reads the
Vendor and Device ID, which are 0xffff for VFs, which looks like they
aren't present. Check the PF instead.
Wei Gong reported that if virtio I/O is in progress when the driver is
unbound or "0" is written to /sys/.../sriov_numvfs, the virtio I/O
operation hangs, which may result in output like this:
task:bash state:D stack: 0 pid: 1773 ppid: 1241 flags:0x00004002
Call Trace:
schedule+0x4f/0xc0
blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait+0x69/0xa0
blk_mq_freeze_queue+0x1b/0x20
blk_cleanup_queue+0x3d/0xd0
virtblk_remove+0x3c/0xb0 [virtio_blk]
virtio_dev_remove+0x4b/0x80
...
device_unregister+0x1b/0x60
unregister_virtio_device+0x18/0x30
virtio_pci_remove+0x41/0x80
pci_device_remove+0x3e/0xb0
This happened because pci_device_is_present(VF) returned "false" in
virtio_pci_remove(), so it called virtio_break_device(). The broken vq
meant that vring_interrupt() skipped the vq.callback() that would have
completed the virtio I/O operation via virtblk_done().
[bhelgaas: commit log, simplify to always use pci_physfn(), add stable tag]
