The events directory gets its permissions from the root inode. But this can cause an inconsistency if the instances directory changes its permissions, as the permissions of the created directories under it should inherit the permissions of the instances directory when directories under it are created.
Currently the behavior is:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing # chgrp 1002 instances # mkdir instances/foo # ls -l instances/foo [..] -r--r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 buffer_total_size_kb -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 current_tracer -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 error_log drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 May 1 18:55 events --w------- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 free_buffer drwxr-x--- 2 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 options drwxr-x--- 10 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 per_cpu -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 set_event
All the files and directories under "foo" has the "lkp" group except the "events" directory. That's because its getting its default value from the mount point instead of its parent.
Have the "events" directory make its default value based on its parent's permissions. That now gives:
# ls -l instances/foo [..] -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 buffer_subbuf_size_kb -r--r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 buffer_total_size_kb -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 current_tracer -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 error_log drwxr-xr-x 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 events --w------- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 free_buffer drwxr-x--- 2 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 options drwxr-x--- 10 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 per_cpu -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 set_event
