The function will +mostly check whether the port is less than d->valid_evtchns as all the +buckets/event channels should be allocated up to that point. + +Unfortunately a compiler is free to re-order the assignment in +evtchn_allocate_port() so it would be possible to have d->valid_evtchns +updated before the new bucket has finish to allocate. + +Additionally on Arm, even if this was compiled "correctly", the +processor can still re-order the memory access. + +Add a write memory barrier in the allocation side and a read memory +barrier when the port is valid to prevent any re-ordering issue. + +This is XSA-340. + +Reported-by: Julien Grall <jgrall@amazon.com> +Signed-off-by: Julien Grall <jgrall@amazon.com> +Reviewed-by: Stefano Stabellini <sstabellini@kernel.org> + +--- a/xen/common/event_channel.c ++++ b/xen/common/event_channel.c +@@ -178,6 +178,13 @@ int evtchn_allocate_port(struct domain * + return -ENOMEM; + bucket_from_port(d, port) = chn; + ++ /* ++ * d->valid_evtchns is used to check whether the bucket can be ++ * accessed without the per-domain lock.
