Tracing instances have a ref count to keep them around while files within their directories are open. This prevents them from being deleted while they are used. The histogram code had some files that needed to take the ref count and that was added, but the error paths did not decrement the ref counts. This caused the instances from ever being removed if a histogram file failed to open due to some error. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZ9cE8hQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qtm8AQDrdfwo63g/K0xpM0Uej9Ex5pBkHEq/ WwCI2hUbPya0wAEAtEcfvgt7P0GuO0PNOYY3uzhAokfBiN04elatbLEetQ4= =i35g -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v6.14-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt: "Fix ref count of trace_array in error path of histogram file open Tracing instances have a ref count to keep them around while files within their directories are open.
