When a probe is being removed, it cleans up the event files that correspond
to the probe. But there is a race between writing to one of these files
and deleting the probe. This is especially true for the "enable" file.
CPU 0 CPU 1
----- -----
fd = open("enable",O_WRONLY);
probes_open()
release_all_trace_probes()
unregister_trace_probe()
if (trace_probe_is_enabled(tp))
return -EBUSY
write(fd, "1", 1)
__ftrace_set_clr_event()
call->class->reg()
(kprobe_register)
enable_trace_probe(tp)
__unregister_trace_probe(tp);
list_del(&tp->list)
unregister_probe_event(tp) <-- fails!
free_trace_probe(tp)
write(fd, "0", 1)
__ftrace_set_clr_event()
call->class->unreg
(kprobe_register)
disable_trace_probe(tp) <-- BOOM!
A test program was written that used two threads to simulate the
above scenario adding a nanosleep() interval to change the timings
and after several thousand runs, it was able to trigger this bug
and crash:

The unregister_trace_probe() must be done first, and if it fails it must
fail the removal of the kprobe.
Several changes have already been made by Oleg Nesterov and Masami Hiramatsu
to allow moving the unregister_probe_event() before the removal of
the probe and exit the function if it fails. This prevents the tp
structure from being used after it is freed.
