      <title>CVE-2026-64476 — vfio/pci: Latch disable_idle_d3 per device</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-64476</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;vfio/pci: Latch disable_idle_d3 per device&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When disable_idle_d3 was introduced in vfio-pci, it directly manipulated
the device power state with pci_set_power_state().  There were no
refcounts to maintain or balanced operations, we could unconditionally
bring the device to D0 and conditionally move it to D3hot.  Therefore
the module parameter was made writable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Later, in commit c61302aa48f7 (&amp;#34;vfio/pci: Move module parameters to
vfio_pci.c&amp;#34;), as part of the vfio-pci-core split, the writable aspect
of the module parameter was nullified.  The parameter value could still
be changed through sysfs, but the vfio-pci driver latched the values
into vfio-pci-core globals at module init.  Loading the vfio-pci module,
or unloading and reloading, with non-default or different values could
change the globals relative to existing devices bound to vfio-pci
variant drivers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Runtime PM was introduced in commit 7ab5e10eda02 (&amp;#34;vfio/pci: Move the
unused device into low power state with runtime PM&amp;#34;), which marks the
point where power states became refcounted.  PM get and put operations
need to be balanced, but the same module operations noted above can
change the global variables relative to those devices already bound to
vfio-pci variant drivers.  This introduces a window where PM operations
can now become unbalanced.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To resolve this with a narrow footprint for stable backports, the
