Subject: [PATCH 06/13 -next] tracing: Add checks if tr->buffer is NULL in tracing_reset{_online_cpus}
Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2013 16:14:09 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130121211728.177153584@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20130121211403.337052956@goodmis.org

[-- Attachment #1: 0006-tracing-Add-checks-if-tr-buffer-is-NULL-in-tracing_r.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1294 bytes --]

From: Hiraku Toyooka <hiraku.toyooka.gu@hitachi.com>

max_tr->buffer could be NULL in the tracing_reset{_online_cpus}. In this
case, a NULL pointer dereference happens, so we should return immediately
from these functions.

Note, the current code does not call tracing_reset*() with max_tr when
its buffer is NULL, but future code will. This patch is needed to prevent
the future code from crashing.
