commit d2603279c7d645bf0d11fa253b23f1ab48fc8d3c upstream.
Chi Zhiling reported:
We found a null pointer accessing in tracefs[1], the reason is that the
variable 'ei_child' is set to LIST_POISON1, that means the list was
removed in eventfs_remove_rec. so when access the ei_child->is_freed, the
panic triggered.
by the way, the following script can reproduce this panic
loop1 (){
while true
do
echo "p:kp submit_bio" > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
echo "" > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
done
}
loop2 (){
while true
do
tree /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/
done
}
loop1 &
loop2

The issue is that list_del() is used on an SRCU protected list variable
before the synchronization occurs. This can poison the list pointers while
there is a reader iterating the list.
This is simply fixed by using list_del_rcu() that is specifically made for
this purpose.
