Subject: [PATCH stable 6.1 2/2] cacheinfo: Remove of_node_put() for fw_token
Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2026 09:57:00 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260213175700.1964980-3-florian.fainelli@broadcom.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260213175700.1964980-1-florian.fainelli@broadcom.com>

commit 2613cc29c5723881ca603b1a3b50f0107010d5d6 upstream
fw_token is used for DT/ACPI systems to identify CPUs sharing caches.
For DT based systems, fw_token is set to a pointer to a DT node.
commit 3da72e18371c ("cacheinfo: Decrement refcount in
cache_setup_of_node()")
doesn't increment the refcount of fw_token anymore in
cache_setup_of_node(). fw_token is indeed used as a token and not
as a (struct device_node*), so no reference to fw_token should be
kept.
However, [1] is triggered when hotplugging a CPU multiple times
since cache_shared_cpu_map_remove() decrements the refcount to
fw_token at each CPU unplugging, eventually reaching 0.
Remove of_node_put() for fw_token in cache_shared_cpu_map_remove().
[1]
