From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Accessing the MCA thresholding controls in sysfs concurrently with CPU hotplug can lead to a couple of KASAN-reported issues: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in sysfs_file_ops+0x155/0x180 Read of size 8 at addr ffff888367578940 by task grep/4019 and BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in show_error_count+0x15c/0x180 Read of size 2 at addr ffff888368a05514 by task grep/4454 for example. Both result from the fact that the threshold block creation/teardown code frees the descriptor memory itself instead of defining proper ->release function and leaving it to the driver core to take care of that, after all sysfs accesses have completed. Do that and get rid of the custom freeing code, fixing the above UAFs in the process.
