Subject: [PATCH] markers: fix unregister bug and reenter bug
unregister bug:
codes using makers are typically calling marker_probe_unregister()
and then destroying the data that marker_probe_func needs(or
unloading this module). This is bug when the corresponding
marker_probe_func is still running(on other cpus),
it is using the destroying/ed data.
we should call synchronize_sched() after marker_update_probes().
reenter bug:
marker_probe_register(), marker_probe_unregister() and
marker_probe_unregister_private_data() are not reentrant safe
functions. these 3 functions release markers_mutex and then
require it again and do "entry->oldptr = old; ...", but entry->oldptr
maybe is using now for these 3 functions may reenter when markers_mutex
is released.
we use synchronize_sched() instead of call_rcu_sched() to fix
this bug. actually we can do:
"
if (entry->rcu_pending)
rcu_barrier_sched();
"
after require markers_mutex again. but synchronize_sched()
is better and simpler. For these 3 functions are not critical path.
