From 05b217b021e003d60471eb419d0ceed84d06c5db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Sun, 24 Jul 2011 09:46:08 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] x86: cache_info: Remove bogus free of amd_l3_cache data free_cache_attributes() kfree's: per_cpu(ici_cpuid4_info, cpu)->l3 which is a pointer to memory which was allocated as a block in amd_init_l3_cache(). l3 of a particular cpu points to a part of this memory blob. The part and the rest of the blob are still referenced by other cpus. As far as I can tell from the git history this is a leftover from the conversion from per cpu to node data with commit ba06edb63(x86, cacheinfo: Make L3 cache info per node) and the following commit f658bcfb2(x86, cacheinfo: Cleanup L3 cache index disable support) Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Hans Rosenfeld Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Andreas Herrmann Cc: Mike Travis Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110723212626.550539989@linutronix.de Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.c | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.c b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.c index c105c533ed94..aa27c38fa98d 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.c @@ -820,7 +820,6 @@ static void __cpuinit free_cache_attributes(unsigned int cpu) for (i = 0; i < num_cache_leaves; i++) cache_remove_shared_cpu_map(cpu, i); - kfree(per_cpu(ici_cpuid4_info, cpu)->l3); kfree(per_cpu(ici_cpuid4_info, cpu)); per_cpu(ici_cpuid4_info, cpu) = NULL; } -- 2.39.5
