This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tracing/uprobes: Fix the usage of uprobe_buffer_enable() in probe_event_enable() to the 3.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tracing-uprobes-fix-the-usage-of-uprobe_buffer_enable-in-probe_event_enable.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From fb6bab6a5ad46d00b5ffa22268f21df1cd7c59df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2014 19:01:46 +0200 Subject: tracing/uprobes: Fix the usage of uprobe_buffer_enable() in probe_event_enable() From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> commit fb6bab6a5ad46d00b5ffa22268f21df1cd7c59df upstream. The usage of uprobe_buffer_enable() added by dcad1a20 is very wrong, 1. uprobe_buffer_enable() and uprobe_buffer_disable() are not balanced, _enable() should be called only if !enabled. 2. If uprobe_buffer_enable() fails probe_event_enable() should clear tp.flags and free event_file_link. 3. If uprobe_register() fails it should do uprobe_buffer_disable().
