Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] perf/core: Cancel PMU mux hrtimer before freeing per-CPU context
Date: Mon, 02 Nov 2026 01:14:02 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <sashiko-outbox-192800@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102005905.2017784-2-dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com>
> perf_pmu_free() can free the PMU's per-CPU perf_cpu_pmu_context while
> the multiplexing hrtimer is still armed. Once the timer expires, it
> dereferences the freed cpc and can crash the kernel.
>
> Cancel the multiplexing hrtimer before freeing the PMU context by adding
> a perf_mux_cancel_hrtimer() helper and invoking it from the PMU free
> path.
