From 99219a3fbc2dcf2eaa954f7b2ac27299fd7894cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "bibo,mao" Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2006 02:17:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kretprobe spinlock deadlock patch kprobe_flush_task() possibly calls kfree function during holding kretprobe_lock spinlock, if kfree function is probed by kretprobe that will incur spinlock deadlock. This patch moves kfree function out scope of kretprobe_lock.
