Subject: [RFC v1 01/19] uprobes: guard trace cleanup against error pointers
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 08:04:37 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831150651.1134594-2-ak@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831150651.1134594-1-ak@kernel.org>
Sashiko pointed out the some of the scope cleanups for free_uprobe
could get an error pointer. Handle this case in free_uprobe
to prevent a crash.
On the other hand the macro doesn't need the guard because
free_uprobe itself already does the check.
Assisted-by: omp:gpt-5.6-luna sashiko
