Subject: [PATCH][RESEND] tracepoint: Check if the probe has been registered
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2008 19:14:55 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <48FF5F8F.6070202@gmail.com> (raw)
If we try to remove a probe that has not been already registered,
the tracepoint_entry_remove_probe() function will dereference a NULL
pointer.
Check the probe before removing it to avoid crashes.
