Re: [PATCH v2 8/9] drm/amdkfd: Free queue in procfs_queue_type kobject release callback

[Felix Kuehling]

On 2026-10-27 18:38, Ian Rogers wrote:

struct queue embeds a struct kobject (q->kobj) for procfs entries, but
procfs_queue_type had no .release callback and uninit_queue() freed q
immediately after kfd_procfs_del_queue() called kobject_put(&q->kobj).
With CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y, this causes a use-after-free.

Add kfd_procfs_queue_release() to free struct queue from the kobject
release callback, change kfd_procfs_del_queue() to only remove the
kobject from sysfs via kobject_del(), and drop the final reference in
uninit_queue() via kobject_put(). Check q->kobj.state_in_sysfs before
calling kobject_del() in kfd_procfs_del_queue() to avoid warnings if
sysfs creation previously failed.
