tracing/filters: fix race between filter setting and module unload
Module unload is protected by event_mutex, while setting filter is
protected by filter_mutex. This leads to the race:
echo 'bar == 0 || bar == 10' \ |
> sample/filter |
| insmod sample.ko
add_pred("bar == 0") |
-> n_preds == 1 |
add_pred("bar == 100") |
-> n_preds == 2 |
| rmmod sample.ko
| insmod sample.ko
add_pred("&&") |
-> n_preds == 1 (should be 3) |
Now event->filter->preds is corrupted. An then when filter_match_preds()
is called, the WARN_ON() in it will be triggered.
To avoid the race, we remove filter_mutex, and replace it with event_mutex.
[ Impact: prevent corruption of filters by module removing and loading ]
