Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix to avoid wakeup loop in splice read of per-cpu buffer
Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2023 23:19:18 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <169262755804.106231.8245792908363050528.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
ftrace user can set 0 or small number to the 'buffer_percent' for quick
response for the ring buffer. In that case wait_on_pipe() will return
before filling a page of the ring buffer. That is too soon for splice()
because ring_buffer_read_page() will fail again.
This leads unnecessary loop in tracing_buffers_splice_read().
Set a minimum percentage of the buffer which is enough to fill a page to
wait_on_pipe() to avoid this situation.
Fixes: 03329f993978 ("tracing: Add tracefs file buffer_percentage")
