percpu_ref_init(): clean ->percpu_count_ref on failure
stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.120 commit d007f49ab789bee8ed76021830b49745d5feaf61 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5L6BR Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=d007f49ab789bee8ed76021830b49745d5feaf61 -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit a9171431 ] That way percpu_ref_exit() is safe after failing percpu_ref_init(). At least one user (cgroup_create()) had a double-free that way; there might be other similar bugs. Easier to fix in percpu_ref_init(), rather than playing whack-a-mole in sloppy users... Usual symptoms look like a messed refcounting in one of subsystems that use percpu allocations (might be percpu-refcount, might be something else). Having refcounts for two different objects share memory is Not Nice(tm)... Reported-by:<syzbot+5b1e53987f858500ec00@syzkaller.appspotmail.com> Signed-off-by:
