Subject: [PATCH v4 10/21] perf evsel: Close the fds opened so far when disabling missing features
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 18:20:51 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261016212102.76550-11-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261016212102.76550-1-acme@kernel.org>

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

evsel__open_cpu() opens the events one by one and, when an open fails
with EINVAL and evsel__detect_missing_features() has a feature to leave
out, goes back to fallback_missing_features to open them all again from
start_cpu_map_idx, without closing what the abandoned attempt opened:
the fd of every CPU or thread that was opened before the failing one is
overwritten in the FD() array, leaking it.

Close them first, the same way out_close does when returning an error,
leaving the entries at -1 for the retry.

Fixes: af954f76eea5 ("perf tools: Check fallback error and order")
Reported-by: Sashiko <sashiko-bot@kernel.org>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/r/sashiko-outbox-173532@kernel.org
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
