Subject: [PATCH 1/5] tracing/events: don't increment @pos in s_start()
Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2009 14:45:41 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A3B3415.5060304@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4A3B3372.4040608@cn.fujitsu.com>
While testing syscall tracepoints posted by Jason, I found 3 entries
were missing when reading available_events. The output size of
available_events is < 4 pages, which means we lost 1 item per page.
The cause is, it's wrong to increment @pos in s_start().
Actually there's another bug here -- reading avaiable_events/set_events
can race with module unload:
# cat available_events |
s_start() |
s_stop() |
| # rmmod foo.ko
s_start() |
call = list_entry(m->private) |
@call might be freed and accessing it will lead to crash.
[ Impact fix missing entries when reading available_events/set_events ]
