That way it keeps the range checking logic in one place (now it is in 3 places in the function), which should make maintenance much simpler. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

It seems to me that under this scenario we need to serialize instructions in this place. What do you think?

I don't understand, it should not matter where you put the barrier. Be it a function call back or right after it, it does the same thing, it stops speculation from crossing that barrier. So it _should_ work either way, if I understand the issue correctly.

I'll place the barrier into valid_port and send v2 shortly.

pdev_nr and rhport can be controlled by user-space, hence leading to a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability. This issue was detected with the help of Smatch: drivers/usb/usbip/vhci_sysfs.c:238 detach_store() warn: potential spectre issue 'vhcis' drivers/usb/usbip/vhci_sysfs.c:328 attach_store() warn: potential spectre issue 'vhcis' drivers/usb/usbip/vhci_sysfs.c:338 attach_store() warn: potential spectre issue 'vhci->vhci_hcd_ss->vdev' drivers/usb/usbip/vhci_sysfs.c:340 attach_store() warn: potential spectre issue 'vhci->vhci_hcd_hs->vdev' Fix this by sanitizing pdev_nr and rhport before using them to index vhcis and vhci->vhci_hcd_ss->vdev respectively. Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be completed with a dependent load/store [1].
