When cpufreq online fails, the policy->cpus mask is not cleared and policy->rwsem is released too early, so the driver can be invoked via the cpuinfo_cur_freq sysfs attribute while its ->offline() or ->exit() callbacks are being run. Take policy->clk as an example: static int cpufreq_online(unsigned int cpu) { ... // policy->cpus != 0 at this time down_write(&policy->rwsem); ret = cpufreq_add_dev_interface(policy); up_write(&policy->rwsem); return 0; out_destroy_policy: for_each_cpu(j, policy->real_cpus) remove_cpu_dev_symlink(policy, get_cpu_device(j)); up_write(&policy->rwsem); ... out_exit_policy: if (cpufreq_driver->exit) cpufreq_driver->exit(policy); clk_put(policy->clk); // policy->clk is a wild pointer ... ^ | Another process access __cpufreq_get cpufreq_verify_current_freq cpufreq_generic_get // acces wild pointer of policy->clk; | | out_offline_policy: | cpufreq_policy_free(policy); | // deleted here, and will wait for no body reference cpufreq_policy_put_kobj(policy); } Address this by modifying cpufreq_online() to release policy->rwsem in the error path after the driver callbacks have run and to clear policy->cpus before releasing the semaphore.
