From 6ed0106667d76589cb648c27edb4f4ffbf9d59ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Thu, 16 May 2013 20:48:49 +0900 Subject: tracing: Return -EBUSY when event_enable_func() fails to get module Since try_module_get() returns false( = 0) when it fails to pindown a module, event_enable_func() returns 0 which means "succeed". This can cause a kernel panic when the entry is removed, because the event is already released. This fixes the bug by returning -EBUSY, because the reason why it fails is that the module is being removed at that time.
