tracing: Fix return value of trace_pid_write()
Setting set_event_pid with trailing whitespace lead to endless write system calls like below. $ strace echo "123 " > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event_pid execve("/usr/bin/echo", ["echo", "123 "], ...) = 0 ... write(1, "123 \n", 5) = 4 write(1, "\n", 1) = 0 write(1, "\n", 1) = 0 write(1, "\n", 1) = 0 write(1, "\n", 1) = 0 write(1, "\n", 1) = 0 .... This is because, the result of trace_get_user's are not returned when it read at least one pid. To fix it, update read variable even if parser->idx == 0. The result of applied patch is below. $ strace echo "123 " > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event_pid execve("/usr/bin/echo", ["echo", "123 "], ...) = 0 ... write(1, "123 \n", 5) = 5 close(1) = 0 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220503050546.288911-1-vvghjk1234@gmail.com Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Baik Song An <bsahn@etri.re.kr> Cc: Hong Yeon Kim <kimhy@etri.re.kr> Cc: Taeung Song <taeung@reallinux.co.kr> Cc: linuxgeek@linuxgeek.io Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 49090107 ("tracing: Add set_event_pid directory for future use") Signed-off-by: Wonhyuk Yang <vvghjk1234@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
