[ Upstream commit3531b27f1f] Fix a missed "goto out" to unlock on error to cleanup this splat: WARNING: lock held when returning to user space! 6.6.0-rc3-lizhijian+ #213 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------ cxl/673 is leaving the kernel with locks still held! 1 lock held by cxl/673: #0: ffffffffa013b9d0 (cxl_region_rwsem){++++}-{3:3}, at: commit_store+0x7d/0x3e0 [cxl_core] In terms of user visible impact of this bug for backports: cxl_region_invalidate_memregion() on x86 invokes wbinvd which is a problematic instruction for virtualized environments. So, on virtualized x86, cxl_region_invalidate_memregion() returns an error. This failure case got missed because CXL memory-expander device passthrough is not a production use case, and emulation of CXL devices is typically limited to kernel development builds with CONFIG_CXL_REGION_INVALIDATION_TEST=y, that makes cxl_region_invalidate_memregion() succeed. In other words, the expected exposure of this bug is limited to CXL subsystem development environments using QEMU that neglected CONFIG_CXL_REGION_INVALIDATION_TEST=y.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
