Subject: CVE-2024-56756: nvme-pci: fix freeing of the HMB descriptor table

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

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

nvme-pci: fix freeing of the HMB descriptor table

The HMB descriptor table is sized to the maximum number of descriptors
that could be used for a given device, but __nvme_alloc_host_mem could
break out of the loop earlier on memory allocation failure and end up
using less descriptors than planned for, which leads to an incorrect
size passed to dma_free_coherent.

In practice this was not showing up because the number of descriptors
tends to be low and the dma coherent allocator always allocates and
frees at least a page.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-56756 to this issue.

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:
