[PATCH 5.5 153/367] ftrace: Protect ftrace_graph_hash with ftrace_sync
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Feb 10 2020 - 07:44:20 EST
From: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 54a16ff6f2e50775145b210bcd94d62c3c2af117 ]
As function_graph tracer can run when RCU is not "watching", it can not be
protected by synchronize_rcu() it requires running a task on each CPU before
it can be freed. Calling schedule_on_each_cpu(ftrace_sync) needs to be used.
