3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 4d3435b8a4c3357695e09c5e7a3bf73a19fca5b0 upstream. tracing_open_generic_tc() is racy, the memory inode->i_private points to can be already freed. 1. Change one of its users, tracing_stats_fops, to use tracing_*_generic_tr() instead. 2. Change trace_create_cpu_file("stats", data) to pass "data = tr". 3. Change tracing_stats_read() to use tracing_get_cpu().
