Subject: [PATCH 0/6] tracing: Fix removing instances while reading/writing to their files
Date: Wed, 06 Sep 2023 22:47:10 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230907024710.866917011@goodmis.org> (raw)


It appears that the dynamic code of eventfs has caused a race window
to open up a bit more and showed that several files were not protected
by the trace array ref count. This means that a task could open one
of the files in an instance, remove the instance, and still be able to
read or write to that file. That access will then cause a "use-after-free"
bug.

Close those holes!

Also, fix a left over unused variable in the eventfs dput fix.

Steven Rostedt (Google) (6):
      tracefs/eventfs: Use dput to free the toplevel events directory
      tracing: Increase trace array ref count on enable and filter files
      tracing: Have tracing_max_latency inc the trace array ref count
      tracing: Have current_trace inc the trace array ref count
      tracing: Have option files inc the trace array ref count
      tracing: Have event inject files inc the trace array ref count
