Subject: [PATCH V3 7/8] perf/x86/intel/uncore: Fix uncore_box ref/unref ordering
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 09:00:32 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260611160033.66760-8-zide.chen@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260611160033.66760-1-zide.chen@intel.com>
In uncore_event_cpu_online(), uncore_box_ref() was called before
uncore_change_context(). uncore_box_ref() gates on box->cpu >= 0,
but box->cpu is still -1 at that point because uncore_change_context()
has not run yet. As a result, the box is never initialized on the
first CPU to come online in a die, leaving it permanently
uninitialized in the single-CPU-per-die case.
Thus, box->refcnt is one count below the true value, and in the CPU
offline path, the box will be torn down on the second-to-last CPU.
In uncore_event_cpu_offline(), uncore_box_unref() was called after
uncore_change_context(), so box->cpu is already -1 when the collector
CPU goes offline, which prevents it from tearing down the box.
Fix by swapping the call order in both paths so that
uncore_box_{ref,unref}() runs at the point where box->cpu reflects
the correct context.
Move allocate_boxes() out of uncore_box_ref() to enable this
reordering.
Fixes: c74443d92f68 ("perf/x86/uncore: Support per PMU cpumask")

v3:
- Update changelog to mention moving allocate_boxes(). (Dapeng)
- Update title; the bug is not limited to CPU hotplug.
