From 2a6c24afab70dbcfee49f4c76e1511eec1a3298b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2013 14:48:23 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix race between deleting buffer and setting events While analyzing the code, I discovered that there's a potential race between deleting a trace instance and setting events. There are a few races that can occur if events are being traced as the buffer is being deleted. Mostly the problem comes with freeing the descriptor used by the trace event callback. To prevent problems like this, the events are disabled before the buffer is deleted. The problem with the current solution is that the event_mutex is let go between disabling the events and freeing the files, which means that the events could be enabled again while the freeing takes place.
