Subject: [for-next-3.11][PATCH 2/2] tracing: Kill the unbalanced tr->ref++ in tracing_buffers_open()
Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2013 23:20:30 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130720032147.057403529@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20130720032028.963792665@goodmis.org

[-- Attachment #1: 0002-tracing-Kill-the-unbalanced-tr-ref-in-tracing_buffer.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1194 bytes --]

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

tracing_buffers_open() does trace_array_get() and then it wrongly
inrcements tr->ref again under trace_types_lock. This means that
every caller leaks trace_array:

	# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
	# mkdir instances/X
	# true < instances/X/per_cpu/cpu0/trace_pipe_raw
	# rmdir instances/X
	rmdir: failed to remove `instances/X': Device or resource busy
