Subject: [PATCH]Fix the order of atomic operations in restore_previous_kprobes
Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2008 16:20:46 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4790D1DE.8030700@redhat.com> (raw)

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com>

Fix the order of atomic operations to prevent overwriting prev_kprobe[0].
To pop values from stack, we must decrement stack index right AFTER
reading values.
