Subject[PATCH 0/7] tracing: instance_rmdir() leaks ftrace_event_file->filter
Hello,

Sorry for delay, I was distracted by other problems.

To remind, we discussed the potential uprobes "mix perf/ftrace" changes and
found some off-topic problems. Lets start with ->filter fixes/cleanups.

So far I didn't even try to test this series, although it looks simple except
perhaps the last patch. I'll try to somehow test this tomorrow, but I do not
really now how.

So please review, these patches need acks anyway.

As for 1/7, I added BUG_ON(file->filter) into remove_event_file_dir() before
kmem_cache_free() to verify that yes, the leak does exist. Perhaps this patch
should go to stable, or at least to v3.16.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And could someone explain me why apply_subsystem_event_filter("0") clears
->filter_string first, then the whole ->filter? It seems that the only
thing filter_free_subsystem_preds() should do is filter_disable(), no?
IOW, why the patch below (on top of this series) is wrong?

Oleg.
