Subject: [PATCH v4 2/3] tracing/fprobe: Avoid kcalloc() in rcu_read_lock section
Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2026 02:11:48 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <177584110853.388483.637011075513179835.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <177584108931.388483.11311214679686745474.stgit@devnote2>
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
fprobe_remove_node_in_module() is called under RCU read locked, but
this invokes kcalloc() if there are more than 8 fprobes installed
on the module. Sashiko warns it because kcalloc() can sleep [1].

To fix this issue, expand the batch size to 128 and do not expand
the fprobe_addr_list, but just cancel walking on fprobe_ip_table,
update fgraph/ftrace_ops and retry the loop again.

Changes in v4:
- fix a build error typo in case of CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=n.
Changes in v3:
- Retry inside rhltable_walk_enter/exit().
- Rename fprobe_set_ips() to fprobe_remove_ips().
- Rename 'retry' label to 'again'.
