Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 3/8] percpu_ref_init(): clean ->percpu_count_ref on failure
Date: Tue, 24 May 2022 12:00:30 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220524160035.827109-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220524160035.827109-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
[ Upstream commit a91714312eb16f9ecd1f7f8b3efe1380075f28d4 ]
That way percpu_ref_exit() is safe after failing percpu_ref_init().
At least one user (cgroup_create()) had a double-free that way;
there might be other similar bugs. Easier to fix in percpu_ref_init(),
rather than playing whack-a-mole in sloppy users...
Usual symptoms look like a messed refcounting in one of subsystems
that use percpu allocations (might be percpu-refcount, might be
something else). Having refcounts for two different objects share
memory is Not Nice(tm)...
