[PATCH v7 01/22] RISC-V: perf: fix resource cleanup on driver probe failure
From: Atish Patra
Date: Mon Jun 22 2026 - 04:06:18 EST
From: Atish Patra <atishp@xxxxxxxx>
Sashiko pointed out various UAF and memory leak issues around
pmu_sbi_device_probe() error paths.
If the probe fails, here are list of cleanups needed.
a. Already registered pmu must be freed
b. per cpu IRQ must be released
c. pmu_ctr_list data structure must be freed
d. cpu hotplug state must be cleaned up only if added.
Fix the resource cleanup by reorganizing the code around probe failure.
