From: Lai Jiangshan Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2008 08:00:05 +0000 (+0800) Subject: markers: fix unregister bug and reenter bug X-Git-Tag: v2.6.28-rc1~78^2~60 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d74185ed27651ad8d920b37d7851306ad01f7d6f;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git markers: fix unregister bug and reenter bug unregister bug: codes using makers are typically calling marker_probe_unregister() and then destroying the data that marker_probe_func needs(or unloading this module). This is bug when the corresponding marker_probe_func is still running(on other cpus), it is using the destroying/ed data. we should call synchronize_sched() after marker_update_probes(). reenter bug: marker_probe_register(), marker_probe_unregister() and marker_probe_unregister_private_data() are not reentrant safe functions. these 3 functions release markers_mutex and then require it again and do "entry->oldptr = old; ...", but entry->oldptr maybe is using now for these 3 functions may reenter when markers_mutex is released. we use synchronize_sched() instead of call_rcu_sched() to fix this bug. actually we can do: " if (entry->rcu_pending) rcu_barrier_sched(); " after require markers_mutex again. but synchronize_sched() is better and simpler. For these 3 functions are not critical path.
