Subject: [PATCH] ring_buffer: reset write when reserve buffer fail
Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2009 11:06:18 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <496AB3AA.4060005@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)


Impact: reset struct buffer_page.write when interrupt storm

if struct buffer_page.write is not reset, any succedent committing
will corrupted ring_buffer:

static inline void
rb_set_commit_to_write(struct ring_buffer_per_cpu *cpu_buffer)
{
	......
		cpu_buffer->commit_page->commit =
			cpu_buffer->commit_page->write;
	......
}


when "if (RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, next_page == reader_page))", ring_buffer
is disabled, but some reserved buffers may haven't been committed.
we need reset struct buffer_page.write.

when "if (unlikely(next_page == cpu_buffer->commit_page))", ring_buffer
is still available, we should not corrupt it.
