Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 1/2] perf evsel: Restrict incremental open error unwind
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 18:15:53 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110231345.67315-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107051229-failed-6.18-16d1234793d4@kernel.org>

From: Hui Su <sh_def@163.com>

[ Upstream commit d023b2110d0d7232ba952a486c497ba8817f6f66 ]

evsel__open_cpu(), evsel__tool_pmu_open() and
evsel__hwmon_pmu_open() support opening a subrange of a CPU map, bounded
by [start_cpu_map_idx, end_cpu_map_idx).

Their error paths, however, unwind using "while (--idx >= 0)" all the way
back to CPU index 0 regardless of start_cpu_map_idx. If lower CPU indices
were opened by an earlier invocation, a later incremental open failure
therefore closes those existing file descriptors and overwrites their
slots with -1.

Before this fix, running the new incremental open test demonstrates this
corruption:

  $ perf test -v "Tool PMU"
   12: Tool PMU:
   12.1: Tool PMU                                                      : Ok
   12.2: Tool PMU leader                                               : Ok
   12.3: Incremental open error unwind boundary:
     FAILED: CPU 0 FD overwritten: FD(evsel, 0, 0)=-1, expected 4
  FAILED!

Stop the unwind at start_cpu_map_idx so that only file descriptors
opened by the current invocation are rolled back.

After this fix:

  $ perf test -v "Tool PMU"
   12: Tool PMU:
   12.1: Tool PMU                                                      : Ok
   12.2: Tool PMU leader                                               : Ok
   12.3: Incremental open error unwind boundary                        : Ok
