[PATCH 2/3] Bluetooth: btintel_pcie: Fix bounds checks in TX completion handler

From: ZhaoJinming

Date: Thu Aug 20 2026 - 05:23:07 EST


Fix two issues in btintel_pcie_msix_tx_handle():

1. cr_tia is a device-controlled value from shared DMA memory
(data->ia.cr_tia[]) and is used to index txq->urbd0s[] without
a bounds check. An out-of-range value could cause an out-of-bounds
access when indexing txq->urbd0s[]. Add a bounds check before the
array access. When cr_tia is out of range, reset the ring consumer
pointer (data->ia.cr_tia[]) to cr_hia so the queue can recover on
the next interrupt.

2. The existing check on urbd0->tfd_index uses '>' instead of '>=',
allowing tfd_index == txq->count (32) to pass. This check guards
against a device-controlled value, so the comparison must reject
all out-of-range indices. Read tfd_index via READ_ONCE() to
ensure a single atomic read from DMA-coherent memory.
