From 110bf2b764eb6026b868d84499263cb24b1bcc8d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2009 17:29:07 -0400 Subject: tracing: add protection around module events unload When reading the trace buffer, there is a race that when a module is unloaded it removes events that is stilled referenced in the buffers. This patch adds the protection around the unloading of the events from modules and the reading of the trace buffers.
