From ee4e0379475e4fe723986ae96293e465014fa8d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" rostedt@goodmis.org Date: Thu, 2 May 2024 16:08:22 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] eventfs: Free all of the eventfs_inode after RCU
The freeing of eventfs_inode via a kfree_rcu() callback. But the content of the eventfs_inode was being freed after the last kref. This is dangerous, as changes are being made that can access the content of an eventfs_inode from an RCU loop.
Instead of using kfree_rcu() use call_rcu() that calls a function to do all the freeing of the eventfs_inode after a RCU grace period has expired.
