[PATCH 4.9 056/120] btrfs: fix crash when tracepoint arguments are freed by wq callbacks

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Jan 18 2017 - 06:16:00 EST


4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Sterba <dsterba@xxxxxxxx>

commit ac0c7cf8be00f269f82964cf7b144ca3edc5dbc4 upstream.

Enabling btrfs tracepoints leads to instant crash, as reported. The wq
callbacks could free the memory and the tracepoints started to
dereference the members to get to fs_info.

The proposed fix https://marc.info/?l=linux-btrfs&m=148172436722606&w=2
removed the tracepoints but we could preserve them by passing only the
required data in a safe way.

Fixes: bc074524e123 ("btrfs: prefix fsid to all trace events")
