[PATCH 0/3] irqchip/gic-v3: Memory-safety fixes on the probe paths
From: Fuad Tabba

Hi folks,
Three probe-time bugs in the GICv3 drivers. The kernel keeps running
after each of them, so the memory involved is live rather than on the
way to a reset.
The first two free memory an enabled ITS still points at. Boot carries
on because its_init() discards a failed probe and gic_init_bases()
discards what its_init() returns. The third is a write past the end of
redist_regs[] for an enabled GICC with a zero GICR base.
fa2dabe57220e's commit message says such tables exist, and I haven't
seen one.
Based on Linux 7.3-rc4 (93f51579e7df2).
Cheers,
