Subject: [PATCH 2/2] i915/perf: remove sysfs entry if idr_alloc() fails in add_config
Date: Wed,  4 Nov 2026 15:33:11 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104073311.1617823-3-lui2012qwq@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261104073311.1617823-1-lui2012qwq@gmail.com>

i915_perf_add_config_ioctl() creates the dynamic sysfs entry for the OA
config before allocating its id.  If idr_alloc() fails, the error path
drops the config reference via reg_err: without removing the sysfs
entry - unlike the normal remove path, which does sysfs_remove_group()
first.  The leftover attributes point into the freed oa_config; kernfs
only stores the attribute pointer, and show_dynamic_id() reaches the
freed object via container_of (including the show() callback itself),
so reading /sys/class/drm/cardX/metrics/<uuid>/id afterwards is a
use-after-free.

Remove the sysfs group on the idr_alloc() failure path, mirroring the
remove ioctl's ordering (under metrics_lock).

Found by static analysis.
