CVE-2026-43130 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/vt-d: Flush dev-IOTLB only when PCIe device is accessible in scalable mode Commit 4fc82cd907ac ("iommu/vt-d: Don't issue ATS Invalidation request when device is disconnected") relies on pci_dev_is_disconnected() to skip ATS invalidation for safely-removed devices, but it does not cover link-down caused by faults, which can still hard-lock the system. For example, if a VM fails to connect to the PCIe device, "virsh destroy" is executed to release resources and isolate the fault, but a hard-lockup occurs while releasing the group fd. Call Trace: qi_submit_sync qi_flush_dev_iotlb intel_pasid_tear_down_entry device_block_translation blocking_domain_attach_dev __iommu_attach_device __iommu_device_set_domain __iommu_group_set_domain_internal iommu_detach_group vfio_iommu_type1_detach_group vfio_group_detach_container vfio_group_fops_release __fput Although pci_device_is_present() is slower than pci_dev_is_disconnected(), it still takes only ~70 µs on a ConnectX-5 (8 GT/s, x2) and becomes even faster as PCIe speed and width increase. Besides, devtlb_invalidation_with_pasid() is called only in the paths below, which are far less frequent than memory map/unmap. 1. mm-struct release 2. {attach,release}_dev 3. set/remove PASID 4. dirty-tracking setup The gain in system stability far outweighs the negligible cost of using pci_device_is_present() instead of pci_dev_is_disconnected() to decide when to skip ATS invalidation, especially under GDR high-load conditions.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's IOMMU VT-d implementation can lead to system instability. The issue arises because the kernel skips ATS invalidation for disconnected PCIe devices, which can cause hard lockups when a device link goes down due to faults. This problem is exacerbated in high-load conditions, where the current method of checking device connectivity can introduce delays that disrupt resource management for virtual machines.
The vulnerability has been addressed in upstream Linux commits. Users can apply the patches from these commits to their Linux kernel to mitigate the issue.
