In https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211209150910.GA23668@xxxxxxxx/ Vincent's patch commented on, and worked around, a bug toggling static_branch's, when a 2nd PRINTK-ish flag was added. The bug results in a premature static_branch_disable when the 1st of 2 flags was disabled. The cited commit computed newflags, but then in the JUMP_LABEL block, failed to use that result, instead using just one of the terms in it. Using newflags instead made the code work properly. This is Vincents test-case, reduced. It needs the 2nd flag to demonstrate the bug, but it's explanatory here. pt_test() { echo 5 > /sys/module/dynamic_debug/verbose site="module tcp" # just one callsite echo " $site =_ " > /proc/dynamic_debug/control # clear it # A B ~A ~B for flg in +T +p "-T #broke here" -p; do echo " $site $flg " > /proc/dynamic_debug/control done; # A B ~B ~A for flg in +T +p "-p #broke here" -T; do echo " $site $flg " > /proc/dynamic_debug/control done } pt_test Fixes: 84da83a6ffc0 dyndbg: combine flags & mask into a struct, simplify with it CC: vincent.whitchurch@xxxxxxxx Acked-by: Jason Baron <jbaron@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@xxxxxxxxx> --- .drop @stable, no exposed bug. .add jbaron ack --- lib/dynamic_debug.c | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/lib/dynamic_debug.c b/lib/dynamic_debug.c index dd7f56af9aed..a56c1286ffa4 100644 --- a/lib/dynamic_debug.c +++ b/lib/dynamic_debug.c @@ -211,10 +211,11 @@ static int ddebug_change(const struct ddebug_query *query, continue; #ifdef CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL if (dp->flags & _DPRINTK_FLAGS_PRINT) { - if (!(modifiers->flags & _DPRINTK_FLAGS_PRINT)) + if (!(newflags & _DPRINTK_FLAGS_PRINT)) static_branch_disable(&dp->key.dd_key_true); - } else if (modifiers->flags & _DPRINTK_FLAGS_PRINT) + } else if (newflags & _DPRINTK_FLAGS_PRINT) { static_branch_enable(&dp->key.dd_key_true); + } #endif dp->flags = newflags; v4pr_info("changed %s:%d [%s]%s =%s\n", -- 2.37.2
