mei: pull kvfree out of spinlock

2026-08-19T16:13:11+00:00

commit b0495bb58af06a7de4628c72d500e3d5e180d808 upstream. The read buffer allocation was changed from kmalloc() to kvmalloc(). This buffer is part of mei_cl_cb structure that can be queued in rd_complete queue protected by spinlock. Releasing the structure leads to errors like below when freeing buffer that allocated non-contiguous: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/vmalloc.c:3448 Separate mei_cl_cb structure dequeue and release to perform only dequeue under spinlock and push release out of spinlock.

mei: bus: access mei_device under device_lock on cleanup

2026-08-03T09:15:28+00:00

commit f112ea910e554d58b4b39a4492b7d302f0f4204f upstream. Fix couple of problems in mei_cl_bus_dev_release(): mei_cl_flush_queues() is running without lock. bus->file_list access after mei_dev_bus_put(bus) can become a use-after-free if this was the last reference to bus. Protect queues cleanup and WARN traversal by device lock there to avoid the concurrent access problems. Move WARN traversal before mei_dev_bus_put(bus). This file uses bus variable name for mei_device, adjust code of mei_cl_bus_dev_release() to use bus variable too.

mei: trace: treat reg parameter as string

2026-02-06T15:48:27+00:00

[ Upstream commit 06d5a7afe1d0b47102936d8fba568572c2b4b941 ] The commit afd2627f727b ("tracing: Check "%s" dereference via the field and not the TP_printk format") forbids to emit event with a plain char* without a wrapper. The reg parameter always passed as static string and wrapper is not strictly required, contrary to dev parameter. Use the string wrapper anyway to check sanity of the reg parameters, store it value independently and prevent internal kernel data leaks. Since some code refactoring has taken place, explicit backporting may be needed for kernels older than 6.10.

mei: bus: Check for still connected devices in mei_cl_bus_dev_release()

2025-08-28T14:28:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit 35e8a426b16adbecae7a4e0e3c00fc8d0273db53 ] mei_cl_bus_dev_release() also frees the mei-client (struct mei_cl) belonging to the device being released. If there are bugs like the just fixed bug in the ACE/CSI2 mei drivers, the mei-client being freed might still be part of the mei_device's file_list and iterating over this list after the freeing will then trigger a use-afer-free bug. Add a check to mei_cl_bus_dev_release() to make sure that the to-be-freed mei-client is not on the mei_device's file_list.

mei: use kvmalloc for read buffer

2024-11-08T15:28:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4adf613e01bf99e1739f6ff3e162ad5b7d578d1a ] Read buffer is allocated according to max message size, reported by the firmware and may reach 64K in systems with pxp client. Contiguous 64k allocation may fail under memory pressure. Read buffer is used as in-driver message storage and not required to be contiguous. Use kvmalloc to allow kernel to allocate non-contiguous memory. Fixes: 3030dc056459 ("mei: add wrapper for queuing control commands.")

mei: demote client disconnect warning on suspend to debug

2024-07-25T07:50:45+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1db5322b7e6b58e1b304ce69a50e9dca798ca95b ] Change level for the "not connected" client message in the write callback from error to debug. The MEI driver currently disconnects all clients upon system suspend. This behavior is by design and user-space applications with open connections before the suspend are expected to handle errors upon resume, by reopening their handles, reconnecting, and retrying their operations. However, the current driver implementation logs an error message every time a write operation is attempted on a disconnected client. Since this is a normal and expected flow after system resume logging this as an error can be misleading.
