From d6d3523caab75196560c85aae80cb8f4a8e380ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Geyslan G. Bem" Date: Wed, 6 Nov 2013 16:02:51 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Do not assign filp->private_data to freed memory In system_tr_open(), the filp->private_data can be assigned the 'dir' variable even if it was freed. This is on the error path, and is harmless because the error return code will prevent filp->private_data from being used. But for correctness, we should not assign it to a recently freed variable, as that can cause static tools to give false warnings. Also have both subsystem_open() and system_tr_open() return -ENODEV if tracing has been disabled.
