From 340f0c7067a95281ad13734f8225f49c6cf52067 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" rostedt@goodmis.org Date: Thu, 23 May 2024 01:14:28 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] eventfs: Update all the eventfs_inodes from the events descriptor

The change to update the permissions of the eventfs_inode had the misconception that using the tracefs_inode would find all the eventfs_inodes that have been updated and reset them on remount. The problem with this approach is that the eventfs_inodes are freed when they are no longer used (basically the reason the eventfs system exists). When they are freed, the updated eventfs_inodes are not reset on a remount because their tracefs_inodes have been freed.

Instead, since the events directory eventfs_inode always has a tracefs_inode pointing to it (it is not freed when finished), and the events directory has a link to all its children, have the eventfs_remount() function only operate on the events eventfs_inode and have it descend into its children updating their uid and gids.
