Subject: [lttng-dev] [RFC PATCH v2 babeltrace] Fix: Double free when calling bt_context_remove_trace().
Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2013 15:58:12 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1358783892-30542-1-git-send-email-jeremie.galarneau@efficios.com> (raw)

ctf_close_trace was being called twice when calling bt_context_remove_trace thus
causing free() to be called on an invalid pointer.

Calling bt_context_remove_trace() would call ctf_close_trace() once via the
close_handle callback registered on the ctf format struct and a second call would
take place from bt_trace_handle_destroy() which is registered as the
value_destroy_func on the trace_handles hash table of the current context.

bt_trace_handle_destroy() now only deallocates the trace handle and does not
perform the trace closing. This makes the bt_trace_handle_create/destroy and
bt_context_add/remove_trace parts of the public API symmetric.

The crash is reproducible by invoking the tests-python.py script.
