From de0baf9ad661ac630a45a50ea1717cc4f4b33ace Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathieu Desnoyers Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2008 17:47:42 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] tracepoints: fix disable Impact: fix race Set the probe array pointer to NULL when the tracepoint is disabled. The probe array point not being NULL could generate a race condition where the reader would dereference a freed pointer.
