From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> The ctx->pos was only updated when it added an entry, but the "skip to current pos" check (c--) happened for every loop regardless of if the entry was added or not. This inconsistency caused readdir to be incorrect. It was due to: for (i = 0; i < ei->nr_entries; i++) { if (c > 0) { c--; continue; } mutex_lock(&eventfs_mutex); /* If ei->is_freed then just bail here, nothing more to do */ if (ei->is_freed) { mutex_unlock(&eventfs_mutex); goto out; } r = entry->callback(name, &mode, &cdata, &fops); mutex_unlock(&eventfs_mutex); [..] ctx->pos++; } But this can cause the iterator to return a file that was already read. That's because of the way the callback() works. Some events may not have all files, and the callback can return 0 to tell eventfs to skip the file for this directory. for instance, we have: # ls /sys/kernel/tracing/events/ftrace/function format hist hist_debug id inject and # ls /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/ enable filter format hist hist_debug id inject trigger Where the function directory is missing "enable", "filter" and "trigger". That's because the callback() for events has: static int event_callback(const char *name, umode_t *mode, void **data, const struct file_operations **fops) { struct trace_event_file *file = *data; struct trace_event_call *call = file->event_call; [..] /* * Only event directories that can be enabled should have * triggers or filters, with the exception of the "print" * event that can have a "trigger" file. */ if (!(call->flags & TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE)) { if (call->class->reg && strcmp(name, "enable") == 0) { *mode = TRACE_MODE_WRITE; *fops = &ftrace_enable_fops; return 1; } if (strcmp(name, "filter") == 0) { *mode = TRACE_MODE_WRITE; *fops = &ftrace_event_filter_fops; return 1; } } if (!(call->flags & TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE) || strcmp(trace_event_name(call), "print") == 0) { if (strcmp(name, "trigger") == 0) { *mode = TRACE_MODE_WRITE; *fops = &event_trigger_fops; return 1; } } [..] return 0; } Where the function event has the TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE set. This means that the entries array elements for "enable", "filter" and "trigger" when called on the function event will have the callback return 0 and not 1, to tell eventfs to skip these files for it. Because the "skip to current ctx->pos" check happened for all entries, but the ctx->pos++ only happened to entries that exist, it would confuse the reading of a directory. Which would cause: # ls /sys/kernel/tracing/events/ftrace/function/ format hist hist hist_debug hist_debug id inject inject The missing "enable", "filter" and "trigger" caused ls to show "hist", "hist_debug" and "inject" twice. Update the ctx->pos for every iteration to keep its update and the "skip" update consistent. This also means that on error, the ctx->pos needs to be decremented if it was incremented without adding something.
