Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
vfio/mlx5: Fix racy bitfields and tighten struct layout<br />
<br />
Bitfield operations are not atomic, they use a read-modify-write<br />
pattern, therefore we should be careful not to pack bitfields that<br />
can be concurrently updated into the same storage unit.<br />
<br />
This split takes a binary approach: flags that are only modified<br />
pre/post open/close remain bitfields, flags modified from user<br />
action, including actions that reach across to another device (ex.<br />
reset) use dedicated storage units.<br />
<br />
Note mlx5_vhca_page_tracker.status is relocated to fill the alignment<br />
hole this split exposes.<br />
<br />
Bitfield justifications:<br />
<br />
migrate_cap: written only in mlx5vf_cmd_set_migratable() at probe<br />
chunk_mode: written only in mlx5vf_cmd_set_migratable() at probe<br />
mig_state_cap: written only in mlx5vf_cmd_set_migratable() at probe<br />
<br />
Dedicated storage units:<br />
<br />
mdev_detach: written in the VF attach/detach event notifier<br />
mlx5fv_vf_event() at runtime<br />
log_active: written in mlx5vf_start_page_tracker()/<br />
mlx5vf_stop_page_tracker() during runtime dirty tracking<br />
deferred_reset: written in mlx5vf_state_mutex_unlock()/<br />
mlx5vf_pci_aer_reset_done() during runtime reset handling<br />
is_err: set by tracker error handling and dirty-log polling at runtime<br />
object_changed: set by tracker event handling and cleared by dirty-log<br />
polling at runtime
Impacto
