[PATCH] perf/core: Fix refcount bug and potential UAF in perf_mmap

The issue is caused by a race condition between mmap() and event teardown. In perf_mmap(), the ring_buffer (rb) is accessed via map_range() after the mmap_mutex is released. If another thread closes the event or detaches the buffer during this window, the reference count of rb can drop to zero, leading to a UAF or refc...

Hi Peter, Thanks for the review. You are right, my previous explanation was inaccurate.

[PATCH v0 00/15] PCI passthru on Hyper-V (Part I)
From: Mukesh Rathor <mrathor@linux.microsoft.com> Implement passthru of PCI devices to unprivileged virtual machines (VMs) when Linux is running as a privileged VM on Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor.

From: Mukesh Rathor <mrathor@linux.microsoft.com> Passthru exposes insufficient memory hypercall failure in the current map device interrupt hypercall. In case of such a failure, we must deposit more memory and redo the hypercall. Add support for that. Deposit memory needs partition id, make that a parameter to the ma...
