Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/perf: Fix kfree memory allocated for nest pmus
Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2017 22:53:27 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1512667407-30067-1-git-send-email-anju@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
imc_common_cpuhp_mem_free() is the common function for all IMC (In-memory
Collection counters) domains to unregister cpuhotplug callback and free memory.
Since kfree of memory allocated for nest-imc (per_nest_pmu_arr) is in the common
code, all domains (core/nest/thread) can do the kfree in the failure case.
This could potentially create a call trace as shown below, where core(/thread/nest)
imc pmu initialization fails and in the failure path imc_common_cpuhp_mem_free()
free the memory(per_nest_pmu_arr), which is allocated by successfully registered
nest units.
The call trace is generated in a scenario where core-imc initialization is
made to fail and a cpuhotplug is performed in a p9 system.
During cpuhotplug ppc_nest_imc_cpu_offline() tries to access per_nest_pmu_arr,
which is already freed by core-imc.

To address this scenario do the kfree(per_nest_pmu_arr) only in case of
nest-imc initialization failure, and when there is no other nest units registered.
