[for-linus][PATCH 0/5] tracing: More fixes for v7.3
From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Sun Sep 13 2026 - 13:18:04 EST
tracing fixes for 7.3:
- Use rcu_assign_pointer() for tmp_ops filter hash
The tmp_ops used in update_ftrace_direct_mod() assigns its filter_hash
field directly, but that field is annotated as __rcu and sparse complains.
Assign it with rcu_assign_pointer()
- Fix use-after-free in enable_trigger_private_data_free()
The trace_event_call is accessed through the event_trigger_data's
trace_event_file pointer to put the trace_event_call on freeing. The issue
is that the trace_event_file data may have been freed already causing a
use-after-free. Add a field to the event_trigger_data that points directly
to the trace_event_call so that it can decrement its reference directly
without needing to go through the trace_event_file.
- Fix accounting of buffer data remote headers
trace_buffer_desc_size() and trace_remote_alloc_buffer() undercount the
number of pages is needed for the asked for size as it doesn't take into
account the meta data on each page. Add a helper function to do the
calculation properly and use that in these functions.
- Catch nr_page_va overflow in ring_buffer_desc sizing
The number of pages per remote ring buffer is capped by
ring_buffer_desc::nr_page_va (32 bits). A buffer_size large enough to
overflow that field would silently allocate a descriptor smaller than what
was asked for.
- Do not resize the subbuf order if any per_cpu buffer is disabled
The mmapping of ring buffers disables resizing the subbuffers, but it is
done per-cpu whereas the subbuf size change is done for all the per_cpu
buffers under the buffer->mutex. It could change the size of some while
the mapping is happening on others. Have the resize of the subbuf order
check all the per_cpu buffers under the lock to see if any of them is
disabled before starting and causing an inconsistency between buffers that
are being mapped.
