Subject: [PATCH] Fix: tracepoint: use after rcu free
Date: Thu,  8 May 2014 07:47:49 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1399549669-25465-1-git-send-email-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> (raw)

commit de7b2973903c6cc50b31ee5682a69b2219b9919d
Author: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
Date:   Tue Apr 8 17:26:21 2014 -0400

    tracepoint: Use struct pointer instead of name hash for reg/unreg tracepoints

introduces a use after free by calling release_probes on the old struct
tracepoint array before the newly allocated array is published with
rcu_assign_pointer. There is a race window where tracepoints (RCU
readers) can perform a "use-after-grace-period-after-free", which shows
up as a GPF in stress-tests.
