This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled perf: hisi: Fix use-after-free when register pmu fails to the 6.6-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: perf-hisi-fix-use-after-free-when-register-pmu-fails.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit bb4ccdd9f33a5021b733a6f534d26283542f5846 Author: Junhao He <hejunhao3@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Oct 24 19:36:30 2023 +0800 perf: hisi: Fix use-after-free when register pmu fails [ Upstream commit b805cafc604bfdb671fae7347a57f51154afa735 ] When we fail to register the uncore pmu, the pmu context may not been allocated. The error handing will call cpuhp_state_remove_instance() to call uncore pmu offline callback, which migrate the pmu context. Since that's liable to lead to some kind of use-after-free. Use cpuhp_state_remove_instance_nocalls() instead of cpuhp_state_remove_instance() so that the notifiers don't execute after the PMU device has been failed to register.
