[PATCH] trace: reenable preemption if we modify the ip

From: Josef Bacik
Date: Fri Dec 15 2017 - 21:43:07 EST


From: Josef Bacik <jbacik@xxxxxx>

Things got moved around between the original bpf_override_return patches
and the final version, and now the ftrace kprobe dispatcher assumes if
you modified the ip that you also enabled preemption. Make a comment of
this and enable preemption, this fixes the lockdep splat that happened
when using this feature.
