Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: tegra194: Fix CBB timeout caused by DBI access before core power-on
When PERST# is deasserted twice (assert -> deassert -> assert -> deassert),
a CBB (Control Backbone) timeout occurs at DBI register offset 0x8bc
(PCIE_MISC_CONTROL_1_OFF). This happens because pci_epc_deinit_notify()
and dw_pcie_ep_cleanup() are called before reset_control_deassert() powers
on the controller core.
The call chain that causes the timeout:
pex_ep_event_pex_rst_deassert()
pci_epc_deinit_notify()
pci_epf_test_epc_deinit()
pci_epf_test_clear_bar()
pci_epc_clear_bar()
dw_pcie_ep_clear_bar()
__dw_pcie_ep_reset_bar()
dw_pcie_dbi_ro_wr_en() <- Accesses 0x8bc DBI register
reset_control_deassert(pcie->core_rst) <- Core powered on HERE
The DBI registers, including PCIE_MISC_CONTROL_1_OFF (0x8bc), are only
accessible after the controller core is powered on via
reset_control_deassert(pcie->core_rst). Accessing them before this point
results in a CBB timeout because the hardware is not yet operational.
Fix this by moving pci_epc_deinit_notify() and dw_pcie_ep_cleanup() to
after reset_control_deassert(pcie->core_rst), ensuring the controller is
fully powered on before any DBI register accesses occur.
