[PATCH] memory: Initialize MemoryRegionOps for RAM memory regions
Posted by Philippe Mathieu-Daudé 3 years, 8 months ago
There is an issue when using memory_region_dispatch_read() or
memory_region_dispatch_write() on RAM memory regions.

RAM memory regions are initialized as:

  memory_region_init_ram()
  -> memory_region_init_ram_nomigrate()
     -> memory_region_init_ram_shared_nomigrate()
        -> memory_region_init()
           -> object_initialize(TYPE_MEMORY_REGION)
              -> memory_region_initfn()
                 -> mr->ops = &unassigned_mem_ops;

Later when accessing the alias, the memory_region_dispatch_read()
flow is:

  memory_region_dispatch_read()
  -> memory_region_dispatch_read1()
     -> if (mr->ops->read) { ... }
                   ^^^^^^
                   NULL deref as unassigned_mem_ops.read is NULL.

  memory_region_dispatch_write()
  -> if (mr->ops->write) { ... }
                ^^^^^^^
                NULL deref as unassigned_mem_ops.read is NULL.

Fix by initializing the MemoryRegionOps to ram_device_mem_ops,
this way the memory accesses are properly dispatched using
memory_region_ram_device_read() / memory_region_ram_device_write().

Fixes: 4a2e242bbb ("memory: Don't use memcpy for ram_device regions")

* This check should pass/fail as normal I think. NULL dereference would happen 
  on invoking mr->ops->read/write() call.

* When mr->ops->read/write==NULL, the dispatch_read/write function would go to 
  the else section to call read/write_with_attrs()

    const MemoryRegionOps unassigned_mem_ops = {                                    
      .valid.accepts = unassigned_mem_accepts,                                    
      .endianness = DEVICE_NATIVE_ENDIAN,                                         
    };

  Maybe we define read/write_with_attrs in 'unassigned_mem_ops' above?

Yes, this should be fine too.


Thank you.

Yes, this is where it crashes. The patch description (code flow)
is incorrect here and in [*].

I'll respin, thanks!
