In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dax/kmem: account for partial discontiguous resource upon removal
When dev_dax_kmem_probe() partially succeeds (at least one range is
mapped) but a subsequent range fails request_mem_region() or
add_memory_driver_managed(), the probe silently continues, ultimately
returning success, but with the corresponding range resource NULL'ed out.
dev_dax_kmem_remove() iterates over all dax_device ranges regardless of if
the underlying resource exists. When remove_memory() is called later, it
returns 0 because the memory was never added which causes
dev_dax_kmem_remove() to incorrectly assume the (nonexistent) resource can
be removed and attempts cleanup on a NULL pointer.
Fix this by skipping these ranges altogether, noting that these cases are
considered success, such that the cleanup is still reached when all
actually-added ranges are successfully removed.
