commit 532988dccc197bc4fe700ebceffad95f2f4c7541 Author: Soham Dandapat <soham.dandapat@xxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Tue Sep 9 08:18:11 2025 +0200 Commit: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx> CommitDate: Tue Sep 9 08:18:11 2025 +0200 x86/mcheck: fix mca_allbanks updating In mca_cap_init function,the mcabanks_alloc allocates and initializes an mca_banks structure for managing MCA banks, setting up a bank map and storing the specified or default number of banks. After this we will call mcabanks_set(i, mca_allbanks); The mcabanks_set function sets a specific bit in the bank_map of an mca_banks structure, provided the structure, its bank_map, and the bit index are valid. At the end, we will call mcabanks_free(xchg(&mca_allbanks, all)); This function is thread safe and does below: 1. Atomically exchanges the value of "mca_allbanks" with "all" 2. Returns the old value that was previously in "mca_allbanks" So, when we will call mcabanks_free , that will free the memory. The problem is that mcabanks_set(i, mca_allbanks) function is updating mca_allbanks which will be freed via mcabanks_free later. This means new mca_allbanks instance("all") will never get chance to update it's bank_map. Due to this when we will collect log from mcheck_mca_logout function , the condition "if ( !mcabanks_test(i, bankmask) )" will always fails and MCA logs will not be collected for any bank. The fix is to solve this problem.
