Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt: - Fix possible UAF on error path in filter_free_subsystem_filters() When freeing a subsystem filter, the filter for the subsystem is passed in to be freed and all the events within the subsystem will have their filter freed too. In order to free without waiting for RCU synchronization, list items are allocated to hold what is going to be freed to free it via a call_rcu(). If the allocation of these items fails, it will call the synchronization directly and free after that (causing a bit of delay for the user). The subsystem filter is first added to this list and then the filters for all the events under the subsystem. The bug is if one of the allocations of the list items for the event filters fail to allocate, it jumps to the "free_now" label which will free the subsystem filter, then all the items on the allocated list, and then the event filters that were not added to the list yet. But because the subsystem filter was added first, it gets freed twice. The solution is to add the subsystem filter after the events, and then if any of the allocations fail it will not try to free any of them twice * tag 'trace-v6.16-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: tracing: Fix filter logic error
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
