A potential scenario, when an error is returned after add_uprobe_event_legacy() in perf_event_uprobe_open_legacy(), or bpf_program__attach_perf_event_opts() in bpf_program__attach_uprobe_opts() returns an error, the uprobe_event that was previously created is not cleaned. So, with this patch, when an error is returned, fix this by adding remove_uprobe_event_legacy() Signed-off-by: Chuang Wang <nashuiliang@xxxxxxxxx> --- tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c | 20 +++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c b/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c index 159b69d8b941..5aa6033a0284 100644 --- a/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c +++ b/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c @@ -10240,9 +10240,10 @@ static int perf_event_uprobe_open_legacy(const char *probe_name, bool retprobe, } type = determine_uprobe_perf_type_legacy(probe_name, retprobe); if (type < 0) { + err = type; pr_warn("failed to determine legacy uprobe event id for %s:0x%zx: %d\n", - binary_path, offset, type); - return type; + binary_path, offset, err); + goto err_clean_legacy; } memset(&attr, 0, sizeof(attr)); @@ -10257,9 +10258,14 @@ static int perf_event_uprobe_open_legacy(const char *probe_name, bool retprobe, if (pfd < 0) { err = -errno; pr_warn("legacy uprobe perf_event_open() failed: %d\n", err); - return err; + goto err_clean_legacy; } return pfd; + +err_clean_legacy: + /* Clear the newly added legacy uprobe_event */ + remove_uprobe_event_legacy(probe_name, retprobe); + return err; } /* Return next ELF section of sh_type after scn, or first of that type if scn is NULL. */ @@ -10593,7 +10599,7 @@ bpf_program__attach_uprobe_opts(const struct bpf_program *prog, pid_t pid, prog->name, retprobe ?
