Subject: [PATCH v7 2/2] perf: Add checks to prevent null ptr access
Date: Wed,  2 Sep 2026 08:48:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902154852.742844-3-vinay.belgaumkar@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260902154852.742844-1-vinay.belgaumkar@intel.com>

Sashiko recommended some additional checks to prevent null pointer
access. Check for revoked states inside perf_event_read_local(), as
the pmu event may have already been freed at this point. Add a null
check inside __perf_event_read_cpu() as well before accessing the pmu
ptr.
