This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tracing: Have tracing_max_latency inc the trace array ref count to the 6.5-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tracing-have-tracing_max_latency-inc-the-trace-array-ref-count.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.5 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 7d660c9b2bc95107f90a9f4c4759be85309a6550 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 6 Sep 2023 22:47:13 -0400 Subject: tracing: Have tracing_max_latency inc the trace array ref count From: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 7d660c9b2bc95107f90a9f4c4759be85309a6550 upstream. The tracing_max_latency file points to the trace_array max_latency field. For an instance, if the file is opened and the instance is deleted, reading or writing to the file will cause a use after free. Up the ref count of the trace_array when tracing_max_latency is opened.
