[PATCH 1/2] cxl/core: Fix initialization of mbox_cmd.size_out in get event

From: Kwangjin Ko
Date: Mon Apr 01 2024 - 05:11:28 EST


Since mbox_cmd.size_out is overwritten with the actual output size in
the function below, it needs to be initialized every time.

cxl_internal_send_cmd -> __cxl_pci_mbox_send_cmd

Problem scenario:

1) The size_out variable is initially set to the size of the mailbox
2) Read an event
- size_out is set to 160 bytes (header 32B + one event 128B)
- Two event are created while read
3) Read two events
- size_out is still set as 160 bytes
- Although the value of out_len is 288 bytes, only 160 bytes are
copied from the mailbox register to the local variable
- record_count is set to 2
- Acessing records[1] causes a buffer overflow
