Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cxl/mem: Fix shutdown order
Ira reports that removing cxl_mock_mem causes a crash with the following
trace:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000044
[..]
RIP: 0010:cxl_region_decode_reset+0x7f/0x180 [cxl_core]

This crash is due to the clearing out the cxl_memdev’s driver context
(@cxlds) before the subsystem is done with it. This is ultimately due to
the region(s), that this memdev is a member, being torn down and expecting
to be able to de-reference @cxlds, like here:
static int cxl_region_decode_reset(struct cxl_region *cxlr, int count)
…
if (cxlds->rcd) goto endpoint_reset;
…
Fix it by keeping the driver context valid until memdev-device
unregistration, and subsequently the entire stack of related
dependencies, unwinds.
