Subject: [PATCH] uprobes: Fix incorrect lockdep condition in filter_chain()
The list_for_each_entry_rcu() in filter_chain() uses
rcu_read_lock_trace_held() as the lockdep condition, but the function
holds consumer_rwsem, not the RCU trace lock.
This gives me the following output when running with some locking debug
option enabled:
kernel/events/uprobes.c:1141 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!
filter_chain
register_for_each_vma
uprobe_unregister_nosync
__probe_event_disable
Remove the incorrect lockdep condition since the rwsem provides
sufficient protection for the list traversal.
Fixes: cc01bd044e6a ("uprobes: travers uprobe's consumer list locklessly under SRCU protection")
