Subject: [PATCH] clockevents: Match the CPU when unbinding devices via sysfs
Date: Sun,  1 Nov 2026 16:11:20 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261101141120.367124-1-thnkslprpt@gmail.com> (raw)

Clockevent devices belonging to different CPUs can share the same
name. The sysfs unbind handler selects the first matching name from
the global device list, which can cause a request for one CPU to
unbind another CPU's device or incorrectly return -EBUSY.

Check the device's CPU mask when selecting the clockevent to unbind
so that the request targets a device eligible for the specified CPU.

Fixes: 03e13cf5ee60 ("clockevents: Implement unbind functionality")
