From 4161824f18ff4f56f46595a4016c7315dd0d24f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2013 18:36:24 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] uprobes/tracing: Fully initialize uprobe_trace_consumer before uprobe_register() probe_event_enable() does uprobe_register() and only after that sets utc->tu and tu->consumer/flags. This can race with uprobe_dispatcher() which can miss these assignments or see them out of order. Nothing really bad can happen, but this doesn't look clean/safe. And this does not allow to use uprobe_consumer->filter() we are going to add, it is called by uprobe_register() and it needs utc->tu. Change this code to initialize everything before uprobe_register(), and reset tu->consumer/flags if it fails. We can't race with event_disable(), the caller holds event_mutex, and if we could the code would be wrong anyway. In fact I think uprobe_trace_consumer should die, it buys nothing but complicates the code. We can simply add uprobe_consumer into trace_uprobe.
