[for-next-3.11][PATCH 2/2] tracing: Kill the unbalanced tr->ref++ in tracing_buffers_open()

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Fri Jul 19 2013 - 23:22:25 EST


From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>

tracing_buffers_open() does trace_array_get() and then it wrongly
inrcements tr->ref again under trace_types_lock. This means that
every caller leaks trace_array:

# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
# mkdir instances/X
# true < instances/X/per_cpu/cpu0/trace_pipe_raw
# rmdir instances/X
rmdir: failed to remove `instances/X': Device or resource busy
