[PATCH v2 4/4] RAS/AMD/FMPM: Fix spurious BUG when ERST record enumeration fails
From: Rui Qi
Date: Tue Aug 25 2026 - 23:55:04 EST
When erst_get_record_id_begin() returns an error, get_saved_records()
jumps to the out_end label which unconditionally calls
erst_get_record_id_end(). This is wrong because:
- If erst_disable is true, begin() returns -ENODEV without
incrementing the refcount. Then end() hits BUG_ON(erst_disable)
and panics.
- If mutex_lock_interruptible() is interrupted, begin() returns
-EINTR without incrementing the refcount. Then end() decrements
refcount below zero, hitting BUG_ON(refcount < 0).
The comment in erst_get_record_id_end() warns that it should not be
called when erst_disable is true, so callers must not invoke it after
begin() fails.
Fix by jumping to the out label when begin() fails, skipping the
erst_get_record_id_end() call. This is safe because kfree() handles
NULL pointers.
