Subject: [PATCH 1/5] ring-buffer: Move disabled check into preempt disable section
Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2010 21:56:56 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100313025854.280882947@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20100313025655.104950166@goodmis.org

[-- Attachment #1: 0001-ring-buffer-Move-disabled-check-into-preempt-disable.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1735 bytes --]

From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>

The ring buffer resizing and resetting relies on a schedule RCU
action. The buffers are disabled, a synchronize_sched() is called
and then the resize or reset takes place.

But this only works if the disabling of the buffers are within the
preempt disabled section, otherwise a window exists that the buffers
can be written to while a reset or resize takes place.
