fs/resctrl: Fix double-add of pseudo-locked region's RMID to free list

2026-07-07T02:05:49+00:00

A pseudo-locked group's RMID is freed when it is created. On unmount rmdir_all_sub() unconditionally frees all RMID of all groups, resulting in a double-free of the pseudo-locked group's RMID. The consequence of this is that the original free results in the pseudo-locked group's RMID being added to the rmid_free_lru linked list and the second free then attempts to add the same RMID entry to the rmid_free_lru again. Do not double-free a pseudo-locked group's RMID.

fs/resctrl: Fix use-after-free during unmount

2026-07-07T01:50:56+00:00

During unmount or failure teardown all mon_data structures that contain monitoring event file private data are freed after which kernfs nodes are removed. However, the RDT_DELETED flag is never set for the statically allocated default resource group. A concurrent reader of an event file associated with the default resource group may, after dropping kernfs active protection, block on rdtgroup_mutex while unmount proceeds to free the file private data and destroy the kernfs node without waiting for the reader. When the mutex is released, the reader wakes up, observes that RDT_DELETED is not set for the default group, and dereferences the already-freed file private data. The scenario can be depicted as follows: CPU0 CPU1 /* * Default resource group's * monitoring data accessible via * kernfs file with kernfs_node::priv * pointing to a struct mon_data. * User opens the file for reading. */ rdtgroup_mondata_show() /* arch encounters fatal error */ rdtgroup_kn_lock_live() resctrl_exit() atomic_inc(&rdtgroup_default.waitcount) cpus_read_lock() kernfs_break_active_protection(kn) mutex_lock(&rdtgroup_mutex) cpus_read_lock() resctrl_fs_teardown() mutex_lock(&rdtgroup_mutex) rmdir_all_sub() mon_put_kn_priv() /* Delete all mon_data structures */ rdtgroup_destroy_root() kernfs_destroy_root() rdtgroup_default.kn = NULL mutex_unlock(&rdtgroup_mutex) /* * rdtgroup_default.flags is empty so * rdtgroup_kn_lock_live() returns * &rdtgroup_default */ md = of->kn->priv; /* md points to freed mon_data */ Set RDT_DELETED for the default group unconditionally since the flag does not lead to the freeing of this statically allocated group. Do not allow a new resctrl mount if there are any waiters on default group of previous mount. A new mount will re-initialize the default group that would appear to waiters from previous mount as though the default group is accessible causing them to access the mon_data structures from the previous mount that have been removed.

fs/resctrl: Disallow the software controller when MBM counters are assignable

2026-05-06T17:06:57+00:00

The software controller requires that there is one MBM counter per monitor group that is assigned to the event backing the software controller, as per mba_MBps_event. When mbm_event mode is in use, it is not guaranteed that any particular event will have an assigned counter. Currently, only AMD systems support counter assignment, but the MBA delay is non-linear and so the software controller is never supported anyway. On MPAM systems, the MBA delay is linear and so the software controller could be supported. The MPAM driver, unless a need arises, will not support the 'default' mbm_assign_mode and will always use the 'mbm_event' mode for memory bandwidth monitoring. Rather than develop a way to guarantee the counter assignment requirements needed by the software controller, take the pragmatic approach. Don't allow the software controller to be used at the same time as 'mbm_event' mode. As MPAM is the only relevant architecture and it will use 'mbm_event' mode whenever there are assignable MBM counters, for simplicity's sake, don't allow the software controller when the MBM counters are assignable. Implement this by failing the mount if the user requests the software controller, the mba_MBps option, and the MBM counters are assignable.

x86,fs/resctrl: Create 'event_filter' files read only if they're not configurable

2026-05-06T17:06:57+00:00

When the counter assignment mode is mbm_event resctrl assumes the MBM events are configurable and exposes the 'event_filter' files. These files live at info/L3_MON/event_configs//event_filter and are used to display and set the event configuration. The MPAM architecture has support for configuring the memory bandwidth utilization (MBWU) counters to only count reads or only count writes. However, in MPAM, this event filtering support is optional in the hardware (and not yet implemented in the MPAM driver) but MBM counter assignment is always possible for MPAM MBWU counters. In order to support mbm_event mode with MPAM, create the 'event_filter' files read only if the event configuration can't be changed. A user can still chmod the file and so also return early with an error from event_filter_write(). Introduce a new monitor property, mbm_cntr_configurable, to indicate whether or not assignable MBM counters are configurable. On x86, set this to true whenever mbm_cntr_assignable is true to keep existing behaviour.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

fs/resctrl: Move RMID initialization to first mount

2026-01-10T10:46:48+00:00

L3 monitor features are enumerated during resctrl initialization and rmid_ptrs[] that tracks all RMIDs and depends on the number of supported RMIDs is allocated during this time. Telemetry monitor features are enumerated during first resctrl mount and may support a different number of RMIDs compared to L3 monitor features. Delay allocation and initialization of rmid_ptrs[] until first mount. Since the number of RMIDs cannot change on later mounts, keep the same set of rmid_ptrs[] until resctrl_exit(). This is required because the limbo handler keeps running after resctrl is unmounted and needs to access rmid_ptrs[] as it keeps tracking busy RMIDs after unmount.
