On a system with CXL memory, the resource tree (/proc/iomem) related
to CXL memory may look like something as follows.

490000000-50fffffff : CXL Window 0
  490000000-50fffffff : region0
    490000000-50fffffff : dax0.0
      490000000-50fffffff : System RAM (kmem)

Because drivers/dax/kmem.c calls add_memory_driver_managed() during
onlining CXL memory, which makes "System RAM (kmem)" a descendant of
"CXL Window X".  This confuses region_intersects(), which expects all
"System RAM" resources to be at the top level of iomem_resource.  This
can lead to bugs.

For example, when the following command line is executed to write some
memory in CXL memory range via /dev/mem,

 $ dd if=data of=/dev/mem bs=$((1 << 10)) seek=$((0x490000000 >> 10)) count=1
 dd: error writing '/dev/mem': Bad address
 1+0 records in
 0+0 records out
 0 bytes copied, 0.0283507 s, 0.0 kB/s

the command fails as expected.  However, the error code is wrong.  It
should be "Operation not permitted" instead of "Bad address".  More
seriously, the /dev/mem permission checking in devmem_is_allowed()
passes incorrectly.  Although the accessing is prevented later because
ioremap() isn't allowed to map system RAM, it is a potential security
issue.  During command executing, the following warning is reported in
the kernel log for calling ioremap() on system RAM.

 ioremap on RAM at 0x0000000490000000 - 0x0000000490000fff
 WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 416 at arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:216 __ioremap_caller.constprop.0+0x131/0x35d
 Call Trace:

  ksys_write+0xac/0xfe
  do_syscall_64+0x9a/0xfd
  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53

The details of command execution process are as follows.  In the above
resource tree, "System RAM" is a descendant of "CXL Window 0" instead
of a top level resource.  So, region_intersects() will report no
System RAM resources in the CXL memory region incorrectly, because it
only checks the top level resources.  Consequently,
devmem_is_allowed() will return 1 (allow access via /dev/mem) for CXL
memory region incorrectly.  Fortunately, ioremap() doesn't allow to
map System RAM and reject the access.

So, region_intersects() needs to be fixed to work correctly with the
resource tree with "System RAM" not at top level as above.  To fix it,
if we found a unmatched resource in the top level, we will continue to
search matched resources in its descendant resources.  So, we will not
miss any matched resources in resource tree anymore.

In the new implementation, an example resource tree

|------------- "CXL Window 0" ------------|
|-- "System RAM" --|

will behave similar as the following fake resource tree for
region_intersects(, IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM, ),

|-- "System RAM" --||-- "CXL Window 0a" --|

Where "CXL Window 0a" is part of the original "CXL Window 0" that
isn't covered by "System RAM".

Do you believe this should be fixed in earlier (-stable) kernels?

Yes.  I think that we should fix this in -stable kernels.  Although no
severe bug will be triggered on x86 in the earlier kernels, it may be a
real bug for some other architectures.
