Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 3/3] tracing: Freeable reserved ring buffer
Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2025 00:44:17 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <173920225773.826592.6428338529686044470.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <173920222697.826592.3726270716809214055.stgit@devnote2>
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
Make the ring buffer on reserved memory to be freeable. This allows us
to free the trace instance on the reserved memory without changing
cmdline and rebooting. Even if we can not change the kernel cmdline
for security reason, we can release the reserved memory for the ring
buffer as free (available) memory.
For example, boot kernel with reserved memory;
"reserve_mem=20M:2M:trace trace_instance=boot_mapped^traceoff@trace"
# free
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 1994720 45292 1931960 14908 17468 1915920
Swap: 0 0 0
# rmdir /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/boot_mapped/
# free
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 1994720 17204 1960060 14912 17456 1944012
Swap: 0 0 0
