I start a binary which should flash the FPGA and re-enumare the PCI-BUS
and find a new device. It works most of the time. With SLUB debug it
crashes on each iteration with something like this (compressed output):

| pcieport 0000:00:00.0: AER: Multiple Corrected error received: id=0000
| Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x27ef9e3e
| Faulting instruction address: 0x602f5328
| Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
| Workqueue: events aer_isr
| GPR24: dd6aa000 6b6b6b6b 605f8378 605f8360 d99b12c0 604fc674 606b1704 d99b12c0
| NIP [602f5328] pci_walk_bus+0xd4/0x104

Register 25 has the user-after magic. As it turns out, the old PCIe
device is leaving, generates an error before it left, aer_irq() is fired,
it schedules a work item. What happens now is that free_irq() is
invoked, all resources are gone *before* the aes_isr() work item is
completed.
So to fix this, I flush the workqueue to ensure that there is no more
work pending.
The wait_event() on wait_release should actually synchronized against
removal. However the condition (->prod_idx == ->cons_idx) is made true
before the function completes (aer_isr_one_error() is invoked right
after that) so it does not fulfill its purpose. Therefore I remove it.

v1…v2:
    - remove wait_release since it is broken on SMP
    - don't flush the workqueue only if we have ->isr set because the
      workqueue could be scheduled via the inject module.

*compile* tested only because I don't have the HW at the moment.

Bjorn, this could deserve a stable tag. However it seems to have been
like that even in v2.6.20.

I propose to merge this patch unchanged, but with the following
changelog.  I want to add a bit more detail about the concurrency
problem and remove a bit of the specific detail about your FPGA:


commit 9963c9487f733ef8fe3a06ce3398072a40f955bf

PCI/AER: Flush workqueue on device remove to avoid use-after-free

A Root Port's AER structure (rpc) contains a queue of events.  aer_irq()
enqueues AER status information and schedules aer_isr() to dequeue and
process it.  When we remove a device, aer_remove() waits for the queue to
be empty, then frees the rpc struct.

But aer_isr() references the rpc struct after dequeueing and possibly
emptying the queue, which can cause a use-after-free error as in the
following scenario with two threads, aer_isr() on the left and a
concurrent aer_remove() on the right:

  Thread A                      Thread B
  --------                      --------
  aer_irq():
    rpc->prod_idx++
				aer_remove():
				  wait_event(rpc->prod_idx == rpc->cons_idx)
				  # now blocked until queue becomes empty
  aer_isr():                      # ...
    rpc->cons_idx++               # unblocked because queue is now empty
    ...                           kfree(rpc)
    mutex_unlock(&rpc->rpc_mutex)

Wait until the last scheduled instance of aer_isr() has completed before
freeing the rpc struct by using flush_work() in aer_remove().

I reproduced this use-after-free by flashing a device FPGA and
re-enumerating the bus to find the new device.  With SLUB debug, this
crashes with 0x6b bytes (POISON_FREE, the use-after-free magic number) in
GPR25:

  pcieport 0000:00:00.0: AER: Multiple Corrected error received: id=0000
  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x27ef9e3e
  Workqueue: events aer_isr
  GPR24: dd6aa000 6b6b6b6b 605f8378 605f8360 d99b12c0 604fc674 606b1704 d99b12c0

Applied to for-linus for v4.5 with stable tag, thanks!
