[PATCH v2 1/1] cxl/core: Fix initialization of mbox_cmd.size_out in get event

From: Kwangjin Ko
Date: Tue Apr 02 2024 - 04:14:38 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 reading.
3) Read the new *two* events.
- size_out is still set to 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.
- Accessing records[1] will result in reading incorrect data.
