The callback function that is used to create inodes and dentries is not
protected by anything and the data that is passed to it could become
stale. After eventfs_remove_dir() is called by the tracing system, it is
free to remove the events that are associated to that directory.
Unfortunately, that means the callbacks must not be called after that.

eventfs_root_lookup() {
eventfs_remove_dir() {
mutex_lock(&event_mutex);
ei->is_freed = set;
mutex_unlock(&event_mutex);
}
kfree(event_call);
for (...) {
entry = &ei->entries[i];
r = entry->callback() {
call = data; // call == event_call above
if (call->flags ...)
[ USE AFTER FREE BUG ]
The safest way to protect this is to wrap the callback with:
mutex_lock(&eventfs_mutex);
if (!ei->is_freed)
r = entry->callback();
else
r = -1;
mutex_unlock(&eventfs_mutex);
This will make sure that the callback will not be called after it is
freed. But now it needs to be known that the callback is called while
holding internal eventfs locks, and that it must not call back into the
eventfs / tracefs system. There's no reason it should anyway, but document
that as well.
