Subject: [PATCH 3/4] ksym_tracer: Fix race when incrementing count
Date: Wed, 30 Dec 2009 14:23:40 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B3AF1EC.9010608@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4B3AF19E.1010201@cn.fujitsu.com>

We are under rcu read section but not holding the write lock, so
count++ is not atomic. Use atomic64_t instead.
