From: Jérémie Galarneau Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2016 20:14:28 +0000 (-0400) Subject: Fix: leak of UST app hash tables X-Git-Tag: v2.7.4~6 X-Git-Url: http://git.lttng.org/?p=lttng-tools.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=bfc52f7cb4c9ad566382813f7c6904521f4bb21e Fix: leak of UST app hash tables The ht_cleanup thread is shut down before the queue of rcu callbacks is emptied by the rcu_barrier(). Since callbacks added by call_rcu can push hash tables through the ht_cleanup pipe, we run into cases where the clean-up thread has been shutdown and hash tables pushed through the clean-up pipe are leaked.
