Subject: tracing: Change remove_event_file_dir() to clear "d_subdirs"->i_private
From: Oleg Nesterov <[email protected]>
commit bf682c3159c4d298d1126a56793ed3f5e80395f7 upstream.
Change remove_event_file_dir() to clear ->i_private for every
file we are going to remove.
We need to check file->dir != NULL because event_create_dir()
can fail. debugfs_remove_recursive(NULL) is fine but the patch
moves it under the same check anyway for readability.
spin_lock(d_lock) and "d_inode != NULL" check are not needed
afaics, but I do not understand this code enough.
tracing_open_generic_file() and tracing_release_generic_file()
can go away, ftrace_enable_fops and ftrace_event_filter_fops()
use tracing_open_generic() but only to check tracing_disabled.
This fixes all races with event_remove() or instance_delete().
f_op->read/write/whatever can never use the freed file/call,
all event/* files were changed to check and use ->i_private
under event_mutex.
Note: this doesn't not fix other problems, event_remove() can
destroy the active ftrace_event_call, we need more changes but
those changes are completely orthogonal.
