If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" commit a29054d9478d0435ab01b7544da4f674ab13f533 upstream. If tracing contains data and the trace_pipe file is read with sendfile(), then it can trigger a NULL pointer dereference and various BUG_ON within the VM code. There's a patch to fix this in the splice_to_pipe() code, but it's also a good idea to not let that happen from trace_pipe either.
