[added to the 4.1 stable tree] tools lib traceevent: Do not reassign parg after collapse_tree()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 4.1 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 106b816cb46ebd87408b4ed99a2e16203114daa6 ]

At the end of process_filter(), collapse_tree() was changed to update
the parg parameter, but the reassignment after the call wasn't removed.

What happens is that the "current_op" gets modified and freed and parg
is assigned to the new allocated argument. But after the call to
collapse_tree(), parg is assigned again to the just freed "current_op",
and this causes the tool to crash.

The current_op variable must also be assigned to NULL in case of error,
otherwise it will cause it to be free()ed twice.
