Subject: [PATCH] x86/resctrl: Fix potential lockdep warning
Date: Thu,  7 Nov 2019 06:36:36 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1573079796-11713-1-git-send-email-xiaochen.shen@intel.com> (raw)

rdtgroup_cpus_write() and mkdir_rdt_prepare() call
rdtgroup_kn_lock_live() -> kernfs_to_rdtgroup() to get 'rdtgrp', and
then call rdt_last_cmd_xxx() functions which will check if
rdtgroup_mutex is held/requires its caller to hold rdtgroup_mutex.
But if 'rdtgrp' returned from kernfs_to_rdtgroup() is NULL,
rdtgroup_mutex is not held and calling rdt_last_cmd_xxx() will result
in a lockdep warning.

Remove rdt_last_cmd_xxx() in these two paths. Just returning error
should be sufficient to report to the user that the entry doesn't exist
any more.

Fixes: 94457b36e8a5 ("x86/intel_rdt: Add diagnostics when writing the cpus file")
Fixes: cfd0f34e4cd5 ("x86/intel_rdt: Add diagnostics when making directories")
