blktrace: fix blk_probes_ref chaos
Impact: fix mixed ioctl and ftrace-plugin blktrace use refcount bugs ioctl-based blktrace allocates bt and registers tracepoints when ioctl(BLKTRACESETUP), and do all cleanups when ioctl(BLKTRACETEARDOWN). while ftrace-based blktrace allocates/frees bt when: # echo 1/0 > /sys/block/sda/sda1/trace/enable and registers/unregisters tracepoints when: # echo blk/nop > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer or # echo 1/0 > /debugfs/tracing/tracing_enable The separatation of allocation and registeration causes 2 problems: 1. current user-space blktrace still calls ioctl(TEARDOWN) when ioctl(SETUP) failed: # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/sda1/trace/enable # blktrace /dev/sda BLKTRACESETUP: Device or resource busy ^C and now blk_probes_ref == -1 2. Another way to make blk_probes_ref == -1: # plugin sdb && mount sdb1 # echo 1 > /sys/block/sdb/sdb1/trace/enable # remove sdb This patch does the allocation and registeration when writing sdaX/trace/enable.
