Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [PATCH 2/2] ftrace: Fix unmatched locking in ftrace_regex_write()
Date: Wed, 04 Nov 2009 01:48:27 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091104064850.911978766@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20091104064825.546743711@goodmis.org

[-- Attachment #1: 0002-ftrace-Fix-unmatched-locking-in-ftrace_regex_write.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1008 bytes --]

From: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com>

When a command is passed to the set_ftrace_filter, then
the ftrace_regex_lock is still held going back to user space.

 # echo 'do_open : foo' > set_ftrace_filter
 (still holding ftrace_regex_lock when returning to user space!)
