Subject: tracing/filters: strloc should be unsigned short
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0ac2058f686a19fe8ab25c4f3104fc1580dce7cf;p=linux-beck.git

tracing/filters: strloc should be unsigned short

I forgot to update filter code accordingly in
"tracing/events: change the type of __str_loc_item to unsigned short"
(commt b0aae68cc5508f3c2fbf728988c954db4c8b8a53)

It can cause system crash:

 # echo 1 > tracing/events/irq/irq_handler_entry/enable
 # echo 'name == eth0' > tracing/events/irq/irq_handler_entry/filter

[ Impact: fix crash while filtering on __string() field ]
