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.

nvmet-tcp: propagate nvmet_tcp_build_pdu_iovec() errors to its callers

[ Upstream commit ea8e356acb165cb1fd75537a52e1f66e5e76c538 ] Currently, when nvmet_tcp_build_pdu_iovec() detects an out-of-bounds PDU length or offset, it triggers nvmet_tcp_fatal_error(cmd->queue) and returns early. However, because the function returns void, the callers are entirely unaware that a fatal error has occurred and that the cmd->recv_msg.msg_iter was left uninitialized. Callers such as nvmet_tcp_handle_h2c_data_pdu() proceed to blindly overwrite the queue state with queue->rcv_state = NVMET_TCP_RECV_DATA Consequently, the socket receiving loop may attempt to read incoming network data into the uninitialized iterator. Fix this by shifting the error handling responsibility to the callers.

nvmet: avoid recursive nvmet-wq flush in nvmet_ctrl_free

commit aade8abd8b868b6ffa9697aadaea28ec7f65bee6 upstream. nvmet_tcp_release_queue_work() runs on nvmet-wq and can drop the final controller reference through nvmet_cq_put().

nvmet-tcp: fix race between ICReq handling and queue teardown

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

commit 5293a8882c549fab4a878bc76b0b6c951f980a61 upstream. nvmet_tcp_handle_icreq() updates queue->state after sending an Initialization Connection Response (ICResp), but it does so without serializing against target-side queue teardown. If an NVMe/TCP host sends an Initialization Connection Request (ICReq) and immediately closes the connection, target-side teardown may start in softirq context before io_work drains the already buffered ICReq. In that case, nvmet_tcp_schedule_release_queue() sets queue->state to NVMET_TCP_Q_DISCONNECTING and drops the queue reference under state_lock. If io_work later processes that ICReq, nvmet_tcp_handle_icreq() can still overwrite the state back to NVMET_TCP_Q_LIVE. That defeats the DISCONNECTING-state guard in nvmet_tcp_schedule_release_queue() and allows a later socket state change to re-enter teardown and issue a second kref_put() on an already released queue. The ICResp send failure path has the same problem. If teardown has already moved the queue to DISCONNECTING, a send error can still overwrite the state with NVMET_TCP_Q_FAILED, again reopening the window for a second teardown path to drop the queue reference. Fix this by serializing both post-send state transitions with state_lock and bailing out if teardown has already started. Use -ESHUTDOWN as an internal sentinel for that bail-out path rather than propagating it as a transport error like -ECONNRESET. Keep nvmet_tcp_socket_error() setting rcv_state to NVMET_TCP_RECV_ERR before honoring that sentinel so receive-side parsing stays quiesced until the existing release path completes.

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

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

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.

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.
