[PATCH] mm/cma_debug: fix invalid accesses for inactive CMA areas
From: Muchun Song
Date: Wed May 20 2026 - 02:12:51 EST
cma_activate_area() can fail after allocating range bitmaps. Its cleanup
path frees those bitmaps, but only clears cma->count and
cma->available_count. It leaves cma->nranges and each range's count in
place, so cma_debugfs_init() can still register debugfs files for an area
that never activated successfully.
That exposes two problems. Reading the bitmap file can make debugfs walk a
freed range bitmap and trigger an invalid memory access. Reading maxchunk
can also take cma->lock even though that lock is initialized only on the
successful activation path.
Fix this by creating debugfs entries only for CMA areas that reached
CMA_ACTIVATED.
Fixes: c009da4258f9 ("mm, cma: support multiple contiguous ranges, if requested")
Fixes: 2e32b947606d ("mm: cma: add functions to get region pages counters")
