Subject: [PATCH v4 2/7] tracing: probe: Allocate traceprobe_parse_context from heap
Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2025 10:30:56 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <175323425650.57270.280750740753792504.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <175323423662.57270.14650807176845939538.stgit@devnote2>

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Instead of allocating traceprobe_parse_context on stack, allocate it
dynamically from heap (slab).

This change is likely intended to prevent potential stack overflow
issues, which can be a concern in the kernel environment where stack
space is limited.

Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202506240416.nZIhDXoO-lkp@intel.com/

 Changes in v3:
  - Split #include sorting.
 Changes in v2:
  - Sort #include alphabetically.
  - Just NULL check for freeing traceprobe_parse_context.
  - Do not change the semantics of traceprobe_parse_context for uprobe
    event. (alloc/free in loop)
