Sathyanarayanan reported that the PCI-E AER error injection mechanism can result in a NULL pointer dereference in apic_ack_edge(): BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000078 RIP: 0010:apic_ack_edge+0x1e/0x40 Call Trace: handle_edge_irq+0x7d/0x1e0 generic_handle_irq+0x27/0x30 aer_inject_write+0x53a/0x720 It crashes in irq_complete_move() which dereferences get_irq_regs() which is obviously NULL when this is called from non interrupt context. Of course the pointer could be checked, but that just papers over the real issue. Invoking the low level interrupt handling mechanism from random code can wreckage the fragile interrupt affinity mechanism of x86 as interrupts can only be moved in interrupt context or with special care when a CPU goes offline and the move has to be enforced. In the best case this triggers the warning in the MSI affinity setter, but if the call happens on the correct CPU it just corrupts state and might prevent further interrupt delivery for the affected device. Mark the APIC interrupts as unsuitable for being invoked in random contexts. This prevents the AER injection from proliferating the wreckage, but that's less broken than the current state of affairs and more correct than just papering over the problem by sprinkling random checks all over the place and silently corrupting state.
