Hi Jarod,

I think there are two issues here:

1) pciehp doesn't handle all 1's correctly
2) use-after-free of hotplug_slot

This patch is for the first issue. I think it's correct, but I still
have a question or two. I attached an updated version of the patch
and changelog.

Here's the path I think we're taking: 03:03.0 receives pciehp
interrupt for removal (link down and card not present), and we call
pciehp_unconfigure_device() for 05:00.0 and everything downstream from
it. Part of this is removing 06:00.0. I expected this would use this
path:

pcie_port_remove_service # .remove method for 06:00.0
dev_printk("unloading service driver ...")
pciehp_remove # hpdriver_portdrv.remove
pciehp_release_ctrl
pcie_shutdown_notification
pcie_disable_notification
pcie_write_cmd
pcie_do_write_cmd(..., true) # wait
pcie_wait_cmd
pcie_poll_cmd
read PCI_EXP_SLTSTA # would get 0xffff
read PCI_EXPT_SLTCTL # would get 0xffff

so I added checks for ~0 data in pcie_poll_cmd() and
pcie_do_write_cmd().

But the dmesg log shows that we were in pcie_isr(), and I don't
understand yet how we got there. Can you help figure that out? Maybe
put a dump_stack() in pcie_isr() or something?


OK, now for the second issue. I think we have a lifetime issue with
the hotplug_slot structure.

pcie_port_remove_service # .remove method
"unloading service driver ..."
pciehp_remove # hpdriver_portdrv.remove
cleanup_slot
pci_hp_deregister(ctrl->slot->hotplug_slot)
hotplug->release
release_slot # hotplug->release
ctrl_dbg("release_slot: physical_slot = 9")
kfree(hotplug_slot->ops)
kfree(hotplug_slot->info)
kfree(hotplug_slot) # <--- FREE
pci_slot->hotplug = NULL
pci_destroy_slot
kobject_put(pci_slot->kobj)
pciehp_release_ctrl
pcie_shutdown_notification
pcie_disable_notification
pcie_write_cmd
...

pcie_isr # not sure how we got here
ctrl_info("Latch open on Slot(%s)", slot_name(slot)) # <--- USE

I haven't chased this down completely either, but I'm pretty sure
we're looking at ctrl->slot->hotplug_slot to get the name after we've
already freed it, and this accounts for the garbage slot names we
print.

This seems like a pretty serious problem as well, but I don't
understand it well enough to propose a fix.

I suspect both of these issues affect all the hotplug drivers, not
just pciehp.

PCI: pciehp: Handle invalid data when reading from non-existent devices

It's platform-dependent, but an MMIO read to a non-existent PCI device
generally returns data with all bits set. This happens when the host
bridge or Root Complex times out waiting for a response from the device and
fabricates return data to complete the CPU's read.

One example, reported in the bugzilla below, involved this hierarchy:

pci 0000:00:1c.0: PCI bridge to [bus 02-3a] Root Port
pci 0000:02:00.0: PCI bridge to [bus 03-0a] Upstream Port
pci 0000:03:03.0: PCI bridge to [bus 05-07] Downstream Port
pci 0000:05:00.0: PCI bridge to [bus 06-07] Thunderbolt Upstream Port
pci 0000:06:00.0: PCI bridge to [bus 07] Thunderbolt Downstream Port
pci 0000:07:00.0: BCM57762 NIC

Unplugging the Thunderbolt switch and the NIC below it resulted in this:

pciehp 0000:03:03.0: Surprise Removal
tg3 0000:07:00.0: tg3_abort_hw timed out, TX_MODE_ENABLE will not clear MAC_TX_MODE=ffffffff
pciehp 0000:06:00.0: unloading service driver pciehp
pciehp 0000:06:00.0: pcie_isr: intr_loc 11f
pciehp 0000:06:00.0: Switch interrupt received
pciehp 0000:06:00.0: Latch open on Slot
pciehp 0000:06:00.0: Attention button interrupt received
pciehp 0000:06:00.0: Button pressed on Slot
pciehp 0000:06:00.0: Presence/Notify input change
pciehp 0000:06:00.0: Card present on Slot
pciehp 0000:06:00.0: Power fault interrupt received
pciehp 0000:06:00.0: Data Link Layer State change
pciehp 0000:06:00.0: Link Up event

The pciehp driver correctly noticed that the Thunderbolt switch (05:00.0
and 06:00.0) and NIC (07:00.0) had been removed, and it called their driver
remove methods.

Since the NIC was already gone, tg3 received 0xffffffff when it tried to
read from the device. The resulting timeout is a tg3 issue and not of
interest here.

Similarly, since the 06:00.0 Thunderbolt switch was already gone,
pcie_isr() received 0xffff when it tried to read PCI_EXP_SLTSTA, and pciehp
thought that was valid status showing that many events had happened: the
latch had been opened, the attention button had been pressed, a card was
now present, and the link was now up. These are all wrong, of course, but
pciehp went on to try to power up and enumerate devices below the
non-existent bridge:

pciehp 0000:06:00.0: PCI slot - powering on due to button press
pciehp 0000:06:00.0: Surprise Insertion
pci 0000:07:00.0 id reading try 50 times with interval 20 ms to get ffffffff
