3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> commit bc6f6b08dee5645770efb4b76186ded313f23752 upstream. tracing_open_generic_file() is racy, ftrace_event_file can be already freed by rmdir or trace_remove_event_call(). Change event_enable_read() and event_disable_read() to read and verify "file = i_private" under event_mutex. This fixes nothing, but now we can change debugfs_remove("enable") callers to nullify ->i_private and fix the the problem.
