[PATCH 2/2] [PATCH 2/2] ftrace: Fix unmatched locking in ftrace_regex_write()

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed Nov 04 2009 - 01:49:10 EST


From: Li Zefan <lizf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When a command is passed to the set_ftrace_filter, then
the ftrace_regex_lock is still held going back to user space.

# echo 'do_open : foo' > set_ftrace_filter
(still holding ftrace_regex_lock when returning to user space!)
