Subject: [for-next][PATCH 1/5] ftrace: Protect ftrace_graph_hash with ftrace_sync
Date: Wed, 05 Feb 2020 17:21:11 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200205222142.810675558@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20200205222110.912457436@goodmis.org
From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>
As function_graph tracer can run when RCU is not "watching", it can not be
protected by synchronize_rcu() it requires running a task on each CPU before
it can be freed. Calling schedule_on_each_cpu(ftrace_sync) needs to be used.
