nvme-pci: fix use-after-free in nvme_free_host_mem()

2026-06-01T15:50:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit b35a13036755c5803168a7cb93bc66035c3e65b8 ] nvme_free_host_mem() frees dev->hmb_sgt via dma_free_noncontiguous() but never clears the pointer afterward. This leads to a use-after-free if nvme_free_host_mem() is called twice in the same error path. This can happen during nvme_probe() when nvme_setup_host_mem() succeeds in allocating the HMB (setting dev->hmb_sgt) but nvme_set_host_mem() fails with an I/O error: nvme_setup_host_mem() nvme_alloc_host_mem_single() -> sets dev->hmb_sgt nvme_set_host_mem() -> fails with -EIO nvme_free_host_mem() -> frees hmb_sgt, but does NOT NULL it return error nvme_probe() error path: nvme_free_host_mem() -> dev->hmb_sgt is stale, use-after-free The second call dereferences the freed sgt, causing a NULL pointer dereference in iommu_dma_free_noncontiguous() when it accesses sgt->sgl->dma_address (the backing memory has been freed and zeroed). This is reproducible on Thunderbolt-attached NVMe devices (e.g., OWC Envoy Express behind a Dell WD22TB4 dock) where the device intermittently returns I/O errors during HMB setup due to PCIe link instability.

nvme-pci: fix missed admin queue sq doorbell write

[ Upstream commit 1cc4cdae2a3b7730d462d69e30f213fd2efe7807 ] We can batch admin commands submitted through io_uring_cmd passthrough, which means bd->last may be false and skips the doorbell write to aggregate multiple commands per write. If a subsequent command can't be dispatched for whatever reason, we have to provide the blk-mq ops' commit_rqs callback in order to ensure we properly update the doorbell.

nvme-apple: drop invalid put of admin queue reference count

2026-05-14T13:30:20+00:00

commit ba9d308ccd6732dd97ed8080d834a4a89e758e14 upstream. Commit 03b3bcd319b3 ("nvme: fix admin request_queue lifetime") moved the admin queue reference ->put call into nvme_free_ctrl() - a controller device release callback performed for every nvme driver doing nvme_init_ctrl(). nvme-apple sets refcount of the admin queue to 1 at allocation during the probe function and then puts it twice now: nvme_free_ctrl() blk_put_queue(ctrl->admin_q) // #1 ->free_ctrl() apple_nvme_free_ctrl() blk_put_queue(anv->ctrl.admin_q) // #2 Note that there is a commit 941f7298c70c ("nvme-apple: remove an extra queue reference") which intended to drop taking an extra admin queue reference. Looks like at that moment it accidentally fixed a refcount leak, which existed since the driver's introduction. There were two ->get calls at driver's probe function and a single ->put inside apple_nvme_free_ctrl(). However now after commit 03b3bcd319b3 ("nvme: fix admin request_queue lifetime") the refcount is imbalanced again. Fix it by removing extra ->put call from apple_nvme_free_ctrl(). anv->dev and ctrl->dev point to the same device, so use ctrl->dev directly for simplification. Compile tested only.

nvme: respect NVME_QUIRK_DISABLE_WRITE_ZEROES when wzsl is set

2026-05-07T04:11:40+00:00

commit 40f0496b617b431f8d2dd94d7f785c1121f8a68a upstream. The NVM Command Set Identify Controller data may report a non-zero Write Zeroes Size Limit (wzsl). When present, nvme_init_non_mdts_limits() unconditionally overrides max_zeroes_sectors from wzsl, even if NVME_QUIRK_DISABLE_WRITE_ZEROES previously set it to zero. This effectively re-enables write zeroes for devices that need it disabled, defeating the quirk. Several Kingston OM* drives rely on this quirk to avoid firmware issues with write zeroes commands. Check for the quirk before applying the wzsl override.

nvme-pci: add NVME_QUIRK_DISABLE_WRITE_ZEROES for Kingston OM3SGP4

2026-05-07T04:11:40+00:00

commit a8eebf9699d69987cc49cec4e4fdb4111ab32423 upstream. The Kingston OM3SGP42048K2-A00 (PCI ID 2646:502f) firmware has a race condition when processing concurrent write zeroes and DSM (discard) commands, causing spurious "LBA Out of Range" errors and IOMMU page faults at address 0x0. The issue is reliably triggered by running two concurrent mkfs commands on different partitions of the same drive, which generates interleaved write zeroes and discard operations. Disable write zeroes for this device, matching the pattern used for other Kingston OM* drives that have similar firmware issues.

nvme-pci: ensure we're polling a polled queue

[ Upstream commit 166e31d7dbf6aa44829b98aa446bda5c9580f12a ] A user can change the polled queue count at run time. There's a brief window during a reset where a hipri task may try to poll that queue before the block layer has updated the queue maps, which would race with the now interrupt driven queue and may cause double completions.
