    xen/pciback: Return error on XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msix when device has MSI or MSI-X enabled · 5e0ce145
    Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk authored
    The guest sequence of:
    
      a) XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msix
      b) XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msix
    
    results in hitting an NULL pointer due to using freed pointers.
    
    The device passed in the guest MUST have MSI-X capability.
    
    The a) constructs and SysFS representation of MSI and MSI groups.
    The b) adds a second set of them but adding in to SysFS fails (duplicate entry).
    'populate_msi_sysfs' frees the newly allocated msi_irq_groups (note that
    in a) pdev->msi_irq_groups is still set) and also free's ALL of the
    MSI-X entries of the device (the ones allocated in step a) and b)).
    
    The unwind code: 'free_msi_irqs' deletes all the entries and tries to
    delete the pdev->msi_irq_groups (which hasn't been set to NULL).
    However the pointers in the SysFS are already freed and we hit an
    NULL pointer further on when 'strlen' is attempted on a freed pointer.
    
    The patch adds a simple check in the XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msix to guard
    against that. The check for msi_enabled is not stricly neccessary.
    
    This is part of XSA-157
