Subject: CVE-2024-50122: PCI: Hold rescan lock while adding devices during host probe

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

PCI: Hold rescan lock while adding devices during host probe

Since adding the PCI power control code, we may end up with a race between
the pwrctl platform device rescanning the bus and host controller probe
functions. The latter need to take the rescan lock when adding devices or
we may end up in an undefined state having two incompletely added devices
and hit the following crash when trying to remove the device over sysfs:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
