nvme-apple: Reset q->sq_tail during queue init

2026-05-14T14:40:35+00:00

Fixes a "duplicate tag error for tag 0" firmware crash during controller
reset while setting up a  queue on Apple A11 / T8015 caused by stale
entries in the submission queue due to an invalid sq_tail offset after
reset.

nvme: fix race condition between connected uevent and STARTED_ONCE flag

2026-05-11T17:07:20+00:00

When a controller connects, nvme_start_ctrl() emits the
"NVME_EVENT=connected" uevent and sets the NVME_CTRL_STARTED_ONCE flag.
Currently, the uevent is emitted before the flag is set. This creates a
race condition for userspace tools (like udev rules) that might rely on
the "connected" event to configure other attributes.

Swap the order of operations in nvme_start_ctrl() so that the
NVME_CTRL_STARTED_ONCE flag is set before the uevent is sent. This
guarantees that the admin_timeout can already be changed when userspace
is notified.

Revert "nvme: add quirk NVME_QUIRK_IGNORE_DEV_SUBNQN for 144d:a808"

2026-05-11T15:07:40+00:00

This reverts commit 7f991e3f9b8f044640bcb5fa8570350a68932843 ("nvme: add quirk
NVME_QUIRK_IGNORE_DEV_SUBNQN for 144d:a808")

The incorrect implementations of SUBNQN is a known issue in a massive number of
NVMe units.  However, the warning "nvme nvmex: missing or invalid SUBNQN field."
is usually appropriate and will not affect performance or behavior etc.  That is
because the support for SUBNQN is mandatory if the controller supports NVMe
revision 1.2.1 or greater, and it reported itself without a SUBNQN field which
breaks compliance with the specification. It should be not quirked by the Linux
Kernel.

nvme-pci: fix use-after-free in nvme_free_host_mem()

2026-05-11T15:07:40+00:00

nvme_free_host_mem() frees dev->hmb_sgt via dma_free_noncontiguous()
but never clears the pointer afterward.  This leads to a use-after-free
if nvme_free_host_mem() is called twice in the same error path.

This can happen during nvme_probe() when nvme_setup_host_mem() succeeds
in allocating the HMB (setting dev->hmb_sgt) but nvme_set_host_mem()
fails with an I/O error:

  nvme_setup_host_mem()
    nvme_alloc_host_mem_single()   -> sets dev->hmb_sgt
    nvme_set_host_mem()            -> fails with -EIO
    nvme_free_host_mem()           -> frees hmb_sgt, but does NOT NULL it
    return error

  nvme_probe() error path:
    nvme_free_host_mem()           -> dev->hmb_sgt is stale, use-after-free

The second call dereferences the freed sgt, causing a NULL pointer
dereference in iommu_dma_free_noncontiguous() when it accesses
sgt->sgl->dma_address (the backing memory has been freed and zeroed).

This is reproducible on Thunderbolt-attached NVMe devices (e.g., OWC
Envoy Express behind a Dell WD22TB4 dock) where the device intermittently
returns I/O errors during HMB setup due to PCIe link instability.

Fix this by setting dev->hmb_sgt to NULL after freeing it, so the

nvme-auth: Hash DH shared secret to create session key

2026-04-22T20:02:16+00:00

The NVMe Base Specification 8.3.5.5.9 states that the session key Ks
shall be computed from the ephemeral DH key by applying the hash
function selected by the HashID parameter.

The current implementation stores the raw DH shared secret as the
session key without hashing it. This causes redundant hash operations:

1. Augmented challenge computation (section 8.3.5.5.4) requires
   Ca = HMAC(H(g^xy mod p), C). The code compensates by hashing the
   unhashed session key in nvme_auth_augmented_challenge() to produce
   the correct result.

2. PSK generation (section 8.3.5.5.9) requires PSK = HMAC(Ks, C1 || C2)
   where Ks should already be H(g^xy mod p). As the DH shared secret
   is always larger than the HMAC block size, HMAC internally hashes
   it before use, accidentally producing the correct result.

When using secure channel concatenation with bidirectional
authentication, this results in hashing the DH value three times: twice
for augmented challenge calculations and once during PSK generation.

Fix this by:
- Modifying nvme_auth_gen_shared_secret() to hash the DH shared secret
  once after computation: Ks = H(g^xy mod p)
- Removing the hash operation from nvme_auth_augmented_challenge()
  as the session key is now already hashed
- Updating session key buffer size from DH key size to hash output size
- Adding specification references in comments

This avoid storing the raw DH shared secret and reduces the number of
hash operations from three to one when using secure channel
concatenation.

nvme-pci: fix missed admin queue sq doorbell write

2026-04-22T17:07:30+00:00

We can batch admin commands submitted through io_uring_cmd passthrough,
which means bd->last may be false and skips the doorbell write to
aggregate multiple commands per write. If a subsequent command can't be
dispatched for whatever reason, we have to provide the blk-mq ops'
commit_rqs callback in order to ensure we properly update the doorbell.

Section 8.3.4.5.5 of the NVMe Base Specification 2.1 describes what is

Currently we are hardcoding 0 instead of using the correct SC_C value.

Update the host and target code to use the SC_C when calculating the
RVAL instead of using 0.
