The function traceprobe_parse_event_name() may set the first two function arguments to a non-null value and still return -EINVAL to indicate an unsuccessful completion of the function. Hence, it is not sufficient to just check the result of the two function arguments for being not null, but the return value also needs to be checked. Commit 95c104c378dc ("tracing: Auto generate event name when creating a group of events") changed the error-return-value checking of the second traceprobe_parse_event_name() invocation in __trace_eprobe_create() and removed checking the return value to jump to the error handling case. Reinstate using the return value in the error-return-value checking.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
