Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: safe traversal of ftrace_hash hlist
Date: Sat, 24 May 2008 23:45:02 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <48385B26.7040509@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi Steven,

I noticed that concurrent instances of ftrace_record_ip() have a race between ftrace_hash list traversal during ftrace_ip_in_hash() (before acquiring ftrace_shutdown_lock) and ftrace_add_hash().If it's so then this should fix it.

Accommodate traversal of ftrace_hash hlist with concurrent insertions.
