Subject: [PATCH v2] tracing: Fix uaf issue when open the hist or hist_debug file
Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2023 09:51:38 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231213015138.281888-1-zhengyejian1@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20231212113546.6a51d359@gandalf.local.home>

KASAN report following issue. The root cause is when opening 'hist'
file of an instance and accessing 'trace_event_file' in hist_show(),
but 'trace_event_file' has been freed due to the instance being removed.
'hist_debug' file has the same problem. To fix it, call
tracing_{open,release}_file_tr() in file_operations callback to have
the ref count and avoid 'trace_event_file' being freed.

Steve, thanks for your review!

v2:
  - Introduce tracing_single_release_file_tr() to add the missing call for
    single_release() as suggested by Steve;
