CVE-2026-98689

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: thunderbolt: Don't access a DP tunnel after its DPRX read was canceled tb_dp_dprx_work() checks ->dprx_canceled before it takes tb->lock so it misses a tb_dp_dprx_stop() that could not cancel the already running work. It then polls the DPRX capabilities and runs the callback for a tunnel that has already been torn down while the domain is suspending or going away. This can be hit by cancelling the DPRX read from outside the ordered tb->wq: During suspend tb_disconnect_and_release_dp() does just this and with a later patch tb_stop() will do it as well. The latter in combination with the Apple NHI where the DPRX read never completed is how I hit this. Check the flag with tb->lock held instead and check it again in tb_dp_tunnel_active() because the callback runs after the lock has been dropped again. Also clear the flag in tb_dp_dprx_start() so that it only ever describes the work that is currently in flight.
