Subject: [PATCH] trace: Fix race in trace_open and buffer resize call
Date: Sun, 24 Jan 2021 15:26:33 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1611482193-32540-1-git-send-email-gkohli@codeaurora.org> (raw)
Below race can come, if trace_open and resize of
cpu buffer is running parallely on different cpus
CPUX CPUY
ring_buffer_resize
atomic_read(&buffer->resize_disabled)
tracing_open
tracing_reset_online_cpus
ring_buffer_reset_cpu
rb_reset_cpu
rb_update_pages
remove/insert pages
resetting pointer
This race can cause data abort or some times infinite loop in
rb_remove_pages and rb_insert_pages while checking pages
for sanity.
Take buffer lock to fix this.
