Subject: [PATCH v4 1/3] tracing/fprobe: Remove fprobe from hash in failure path
Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2026 02:11:38 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <177584109879.388483.14499258580060375437.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <177584108931.388483.11311214679686745474.stgit@devnote2>

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

When register_fprobe_ips() fails, it tries to remove a list of
fprobe_hash_node from fprobe_ip_table, but it missed to remove
fprobe itself from fprobe_table. Moreover, when removing
the fprobe_hash_node which is added to rhltable once, it must
use kfree_rcu() after removing from rhltable.

To fix these issues, this reuses unregister_fprobe() internal
code to rollback the half-way registered fprobe.

Fixes: 4346ba160409 ("fprobe: Rewrite fprobe on function-graph tracer")

 Changes in v4:
  - Remove short-cut case because we always need to upadte ftrace_ops.
  - Use guard(mutex) in register_fprobe_ips() to unlock it correctly.
  - Remove redundant !ret check in register_fprobe_ips().
  - Do not set hlist_array->size in failure case, instead,
    hlist_array->array[i].fp is set only when insertion is succeeded.
  Changes in v3:
  - Newly added.
