[ Kees, I added you because you tend to know about these things. Is it OK to assign a void func(void) that doesn't do anything and returns nothing to a function pointer that could be call with parameters? We need to add stubs for tracepoints when we fail to allocate a new array on removal of a callback, but the callbacks do have arguments, but the stub called does not have arguments. Matt, Does this patch fix the error your patch was trying to fix? ] The list of tracepoint callbacks is managed by an array that is protected by RCU. To update this array, a new array is allocated, the updates are copied over to the new array, and then the list of functions for the tracepoint is switched over to the new array. After a completion of an RCU grace period, the old array is freed. This process happens for both adding a callback as well as removing one. But on removing a callback, if the new array fails to be allocated, the callback is not removed, and may be used after it is freed by the clients of the tracepoint. There's really no reason to fail if the allocation for a new array fails when removing a function. Instead, the function can simply be replaced by a stub function that could be cleaned up on the next modification of the array. That is, instead of calling the function registered to the tracepoint, it would call a stub function in its place.
