Subject: [PATCH v2] trace-cmd: Fix segmentation fault in tracecmd_read_at() in specific use case
Date: Tue, 15 Oct 2019 13:56:36 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191015105636.19254-1-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. The problem can be observed randomly -
there is a sporadic KernelShark crash when loading a file, browsing and
zooming events.

v2 changes:
- Moved the check for NULL page after the loop, as Steven Rostedt
suggested.
