| Name | CVE-2021-47387 |
| Description | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: schedutil: Use kobject release() method to free sugov_tunables
The struct sugov_tunables is protected by the kobject, so we can't free
it directly. Otherwise we would get a call trace like this:
ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object type: timer_list hint: delayed_work_timer_fn+0x0/0x30

So split the original sugov_tunables_free() into two functions,
sugov_clear_global_tunables() is just used to clear the global_tunables
and the new sugov_tunables_free() is used as kobj_type::release to
release the sugov_tunables safely. |
