From 7522a8423bed9931cbac5502b9c0657bde2700ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2006 02:43:11 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kprobes: NULL out non-relevant fields in struct kretprobe In cases where a struct kretprobe's *_handler fields are non-NULL, it is possible to cause a system crash, due to the possibility of calls ending up in zombie functions. Documentation clearly states that unused *_handlers should be set to NULL, but kprobe users sometimes fail to do so. Fix it by setting the non-relevant fields of the struct kretprobe to NULL.
