Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NTB: epf: Avoid pci_iounmap() with offset when PEER_SPAD and CONFIG share BAR When BAR_PEER_SPAD and BAR_CONFIG share one PCI BAR, the module teardown path ends up calling pci_iounmap() on the same iomem with some offset, which is unnecessary and triggers a kernel warning like the following: Trying to vunmap() nonexistent vm area (0000000069a5ffe8) WARNING: mm/vmalloc.c:3470 at vunmap+0x58/0x68, CPU#5: modprobe/2937 [...] Call trace: vunmap+0x58/0x68 (P) iounmap+0x34/0x48 pci_iounmap+0x2c/0x40 ntb_epf_pci_remove+0x44/0x80 [ntb_hw_epf] pci_device_remove+0x48/0xf8 device_remove+0x50/0x88 device_release_driver_internal+0x1c8/0x228 driver_detach+0x50/0xb0 bus_remove_driver+0x74/0x100 driver_unregister+0x34/0x68 pci_unregister_driver+0x34/0xa0 ntb_epf_pci_driver_exit+0x14/0xfe0 [ntb_hw_epf] [...] Fix it by unmapping only when PEER_SPAD and CONFIG use difference bars.
