Revert "PCI/MSI: Unmap MSI-X region on error"
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Revert "PCI/MSI: Unmap MSI-X region on error" This reverts commit 1a8d4c6ecb4c81261bcdf13556abd4a958eca202. Commit 1a8d4c6ecb4c ("PCI/MSI: Unmap MSI-X region on error") added an iounmap(dev->msix_base) on the error path of msix_capability_init() to release the MSI-X region when msix_setup_interrupts() fails. When msix_setup_interrupts() fails, the call chain is: msix_setup_interrupts() -> __msix_setup_interrupts() struct pci_dev *dev __free(free_msi_irqs) = __dev; ... return ret; // __free cleanup fires on error The __free(free_msi_irqs) cleanup calls pci_free_msi_irqs(), which already handles the unmap: void pci_free_msi_irqs(struct pci_dev *dev) { pci_msi_teardown_msi_irqs(dev); if (dev->msix_base) { iounmap(dev->msix_base); // already unmapped here dev->msix_base = NULL; // and set to NULL } } So dev->msix_base is unmapped and set to NULL before msix_setup_interrupts() returns to msix_capability_init(). The "goto out_unmap" introduced by commit 1a8d4c6ecb4c ("PCI/MSI: Unmap MSI-X region on error") then calls iounmap() a second time on a NULL pointer.
