From d94fc523f3c35bd8013f04827e94756cbc0212f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li Zefan Date: Thu, 7 May 2009 15:11:15 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] tracing/events: fix concurrent access to ftrace_events list, fix In filter_add_subsystem_pred() we should release event_mutex before calling filter_free_subsystem_preds(), since both functions hold event_mutex.
