Hi, > From: linux-acpi-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-acpi-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dan > Williams > Subject: [PATCH] acpi: fix acpi_get_table() leak / acpi-sysfs denial of service > > Reading an ACPI table through the /sys/firmware/acpi/tables interface > more than 65,536 times leads to the following log message: > > ACPI Error: Table ffff88033595eaa8, Validation count is zero after increment > (20170119/tbutils-423) > > ...and the table being unavailable until the next reboot. Add the > missing acpi_put_table() so the table ->validation_count is decremented > after each read. For now, should just return AE_OK instead of AE_LIMIT in acpi_tb_get_table(). Otherwise this fix will not be sufficient to fix all possible problem Unless we can add acpi_put_table() for all acpi_get_table() invocation. Let me send a patch for you to try.
