[PATCH 4/4] platform/x86/amd/hsmp: Gate the data plane on a fully initialized socket
From: Muralidhara M K
Date: Mon Jun 29 2026 - 04:01:15 EST
hsmp_parse_acpi_table() published sock->dev before hsmp_read_acpi_crs()
had mapped virt_base_addr. sock->dev is the readiness gate for the
lock-free data plane, so on a multi-socket system - where socket 0
exposes /dev/hsmp before later sockets finish probing - an ioctl aimed
at a socket still in bring-up could pass the gate and dereference a NULL
virt_base_addr.
Publish sock->dev last with smp_store_release() once virt_base_addr, the
mailbox offsets and the semaphore are initialized, and read it with
smp_load_acquire() in hsmp_send_message() so a non-NULL dev guarantees
the rest of the socket state is visible.
