From e70e78e3c83b536730e31231dd9b979768d8df3c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2013 17:36:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Kill the unbalanced tr->ref++ in tracing_buffers_open() tracing_buffers_open() does trace_array_get() and then it wrongly inrcements tr->ref again under trace_types_lock. This means that every caller leaks trace_array: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/ # mkdir instances/X # true < instances/X/per_cpu/cpu0/trace_pipe_raw # rmdir instances/X rmdir: failed to remove `instances/X': Device or resource busy Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130719153644.GA18899@redhat.com Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.10 Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt --- kernel/trace/trace.c | 2 -- 1 file changed, 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/trace/trace.c b/kernel/trace/trace.c index 7d9ceab42564..3f2477713aca 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/trace.c +++ b/kernel/trace/trace.c @@ -4959,8 +4959,6 @@ static int tracing_buffers_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp) mutex_lock(&trace_types_lock); - tr->ref++; - info->iter.tr = tr; info->iter.cpu_file = tc->cpu; info->iter.trace = tr->current_trace;
