Subject: [PATCH v1] trace: Fix race in trace_open and buffer resize call
Date: Tue,  6 Oct 2020 15:03:53 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1601976833-24377-1-git-send-email-gkohli@codeaurora.org> (raw)

Below race can come, if trace_open and resize of
cpu buffer is running parallely on different cpus
CPUX                                CPUY
				    ring_buffer_resize
				    atomic_read(&buffer->resize_disabled)
tracing_open
tracing_reset_online_cpus
ring_buffer_reset_cpu
rb_reset_cpu
				    rb_update_pages
				    remove/insert pages
resetting pointer

This race can cause data abort or some times infinte loop in
rb_remove_pages and rb_insert_pages while checking pages
for sanity.

Take buffer lock to fix this.
