Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 07/11] tracing: Zero the pipe cpumask on alloc to avoid spurious -EBUSY
Date: Sat, 02 Sep 2023 07:50:42 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230902115119.470238399@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20230902115035.786076237@goodmis.org

From: Brian Foster <bfoster@redhat.com>

The pipe cpumask used to serialize opens between the main and percpu
trace pipes is not zeroed or initialized. This can result in
spurious -EBUSY returns if underlying memory is not fully zeroed.
This has been observed by immediate failure to read the main
trace_pipe file on an otherwise newly booted and idle system:

 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe
 cat: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe: Device or resource busy

Zero the allocation of pipe_cpumask to avoid the problem.
