x86/intel_rdt: Prevent pseudo-locking from using stale pointers
When the last CPU in an rdt_domain goes offline, its rdt_domain struct gets freed. Current pseudo-locking code is unaware of this scenario and tries to dereference the freed structure in a few places. Add checks to prevent pseudo-locking code from doing this. While further work is needed to seamlessly restore resource groups (not just pseudo-locking) to their configuration when the domain is brought back online, the immediate issue of invalid pointers is addressed here. Fixes: f4e80d67a5274 ("x86/intel_rdt: Resctrl files reflect pseudo-locked information") Fixes: 443810fe61605 ("x86/intel_rdt: Create debugfs files for pseudo-locking testing") Fixes: 746e08590b864 ("x86/intel_rdt: Create character device exposing pseudo-locked region") Fixes: 33dc3e410a0d9 ("x86/intel_rdt: Make CPU information accessible for pseudo-locked regions") Signed-off-by: Jithu Joseph <jithu.joseph@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: fenghua.yu@intel.com Cc: tony.luck@intel.com Cc: gavin.hindman@intel.com Cc: hpa@zytor.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/231f742dbb7b00a31cc104416860e27dba6b072d.1539384145.git.reinette.chatre@intel.com
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
