Subject: [PATCH v7 06/10] tracing/osnoise: Reset cleanup
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 00:40:59 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113064103.3041704-7-crwood@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113064103.3041704-1-crwood@redhat.com>

Reset per-cpu timerlat state every time we stop a kthread or detach an
fd, rather than assume everything gets cleaned up properly, and avoiding
the need to explicitly zero individual fields.

Also, stop initializing tlat->thread lazily, add some debug checks to
detect an unclean state, and clear osnoise_data.tainted in
osn_var_reset().

Combine the per-cpu tlat cleanup and clearing osn->sampling and osn->pid into
osn_reset_cpu(), which is called consistently regardless of the tracer mode.

Don't clear the rest of the osnoise per-cpu state except when the full
tracer has been reset, to avoid racing with interrupt trace hooks.

v2: New patch.  Without this, I was seeing sampling = 1 leaking from a
kthread context to an fd context, which confused the latter into
operating with tlat->thread set to the old kernel thread, causing the fd
thread to hang.

v3: Reset the per-cpu context unconditionally in stop_kthread(), so sampling
gets cleared as noted in patch 3/9

v4: Only reset the cpu data if the fdd is a match

v6: Revive patch, but remove the interrupt counters from the zeroed area

v7:
 - Go back to clearing interrupt counters on full tracer reset, explicily clearing
   osn->sampling and osn->pid only during cpu detachment.  The issue
   pointed out by Sashiko in v6, where we could have stale data after a
   detach, is still there but it is not a new issue and is out of scope
   for this patchset, and unlike v6 it doesn't persist across full tracer
   resets.
 - Use WARN_ON_ONCE consistently
