[Bug 278826] [hpet] cdev->si_refcount leakage when enable hpet as timecounter hardware
Date: Tue, 07 May 2024 09:14:48 UTC
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=278826 --- Comment #2 from Austin Zhang <austin.zhang@dell.com> --- (In reply to Konstantin Belousov from comment #1) When a process exits, it's expected to release /dev/hpet0 via munmap, which should decrease the si_refcount accordingly. However, it appears this decrement does not occur. If the count isn't properly reduced, it could erroneously overflow and potentially turn negative. That's why I believe there is a leakage. Please correct me if I've misunderstood the scenario. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
