Subject: [PATCH] trace-cmd: Fix segmentation fault in tracecmd_read_at() in specific use case
Date: Fri, 11 Oct 2019 14:33:53 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191011113353.11652-1-tz.stoyanov@gmail.com> (raw)

There is a segmentation fault in update_page_info() when the requested page
is not loaded, handle->cpu_data[cpu].page is NULL. The problematic flow starts
from tracecmd_read_at() API, when reading offset in the first page (less than 4K),
and this page is still not loaded yet. The problem can be observed randomly -
there is a sporadic KernelShark crash when loading a file, browsing and
zooming events.
