In the reported failure, the\nfirst relevant device error was:\n\n  pcieport 0000:10:01.1: DPC: containment event\n  pcieport 0000:10:01.1: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Uncorrected (Fatal)\n  pcieport 0000:10:01.1:    [ 5] SDES                   (First)\n\nmlx5 recovered the PCI functions and resumed 0000:11:00.1. During\nthat resume, RDMA multiport binding replayed\nMLX5_DRIVER_EVENT_AFFILIATION_DONE and mlx5e sent\nMPV_DEVCOM_MASTER_UP. The host then panicked with:\n\n  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000010\n  RIP: mlx5_devcom_comp_set_ready+0x5/0x40 [mlx5_core]\n  RDI: 0000000000000000\n\nCall trace included:\n\n  mlx5_devcom_comp_set_ready\n  mlx5e_devcom_event_mpv\n  mlx5_devcom_send_event\n  mlx5_ib_bind_slave_port\n  mlx5r_mp_probe\n  mlx5_pci_resume\n\nMPV devcom registration publishes mlx5e private data to the component\npeer list before mlx5e_devcom_init_mpv() stores the returned component\ndevice in priv->devcom. A concurrent master-up event can therefore\nreach a peer whose private data is visible but whose priv->devcom\nbackpointer is still NULL.\n\nMPV_DEVCOM_MASTER_UP already carries the sender/master mlx5e private\ndata as event_data. The ready bit is stored on the shared devcom\ncomponent, not on an individual peer. Use the sender devcom when\nmarking the MPV component ready.\n\nThis preserves the readiness transition while avoiding a NULL\ndereference of the peer devcom pointer during affiliation replay after\nPCI error recovery."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_main.c"],"versions":[{"version":"bf11485f8419f90ffaa3804fd01d8468fcc56e23","lessThan":"c698b2735613f1f35c55688bd2252f75f31c49ad","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"bf11485f8419f90ffaa3804fd01d8468fcc56e23","lessThan":"40f9a124ebbe0d60fe165fb3f87515c35b2d72f5","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"bf11485f8419f90ffaa3804fd01d8468fcc56e23","lessThan":"a60c81f168c9fe4f5d84302d1e32b717f5a8a933","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"bf11485f8419f90ffaa3804fd01d8468fcc56e23","lessThan":"e32649b4bad90a6216d8e93cd7dd050af8ac9740","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_main.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6.7","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.7","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.101","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.42","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1.6","lessThanOrEqual":"7.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.101"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.42"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.7","versionEndExcluding":"7.1.6"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.7","versionEndExcluding":"7.2"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c698b2735613f1f35c55688bd2252f75f31c49ad"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/40f9a124ebbe0d60fe165fb3f87515c35b2d72f5"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a60c81f168c9fe4f5d84302d1e32b717f5a8a933"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e32649b4bad90a6216d8e93cd7dd050af8ac9740"}],"title":"net/mlx5e: Use sender devcom for MPV master-up","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
