From: Song Liu songliubraving@fb.com Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2018 10:21:34 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix bad use of igrab in trace_uprobe.c
As Miklos reported and suggested:
This pattern repeats two times in trace_uprobe.c and in kernel/events/core.c as well:
ret = kern_path(filename, LOOKUP_FOLLOW, &path); if (ret) goto fail_address_parse;
inode = igrab(d_inode(path.dentry)); path_put(&path);
And it's wrong. You can only hold a reference to the inode if you have an active ref to the superblock as well (which is normally through path.mnt) or holding s_umount.
This way unmounting the containing filesystem while the tracepoint is active will give you the "VFS: Busy inodes after unmount..." message and a crash when the inode is finally put.
Solution: store path instead of inode.
This patch fixes two instances in trace_uprobe.c. struct path is added to struct trace_uprobe to keep the inode and containing mount point referenced.
