[PATCH] btrfs: fix crash when tracepoint arguments are freed by wq callbacks

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

 



Enabling btrfs tracepoints leads to instant crash, as reported. The wq
callbacks could free the memory and the tracepoints started to
dereference the members to get to fs_info.

The proposed fix https://marc.info/?l=linux-btrfs&m=148172436722606&w=2
removed the tracepoints but we could preserve them by passing only the
required data in a safe way.

Fixes: bc074524e123 ("btrfs: prefix fsid to all trace events")
