Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cxl: Fix race of nvdimm_bus object when creating nvdimm objects
Found issue during running of cxl-translate.sh unit test. Adding a 3s
sleep right before the test seems to make the issue reproduce fairly
consistently. The cxl_translate module has dependency on cxl_acpi and
causes orphaned nvdimm objects to reprobe after cxl_acpi is removed.
The nvdimm_bus object is registered by the cxl_nvb object when
cxl_acpi_probe() is called. With the nvdimm_bus object missing,
__nd_device_register() will trigger NULL pointer dereference when
accessing the dev->parent that points to &nvdimm_bus->dev.
