The patch titled kretprobe spinlock deadlock patch has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is kretprobe-spinlock-deadlock-patch.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: kretprobe spinlock deadlock patch From: "bibo,mao" <bibo.mao@xxxxxxxxx> kprobe_flush_task() possibly calls kfree function during holding kretprobe_lock spinlock, if kfree function is probed by kretprobe that will incur spinlock deadlock. This patch moves kfree function out scope of kretprobe_lock.
