Subject: [PATCH 14/14] tracing: Kill the unbalanced tr->ref++ in tracing_buffers_open()
Date: Mon, 22 Jul 2013 10:20:01 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130722142126.542426716@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20130722141947.972915744@goodmis.org
[-- Attachment #1: 0014-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
