Linux kernel source tree

It use to be that only the top level instance had a snapshot buffer (for
latency tracers like wakeup and irqsoff). The update of the ring buffer
size would check if the instance was the top level and if so, it would
also update the snapshot buffer as it needs to be the same as the main
buffer.
Now that lower level instances also has a snapshot buffer, they too need
to update their snapshot buffer sizes when the main buffer is changed,
otherwise the following can be triggered:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# echo 1500 > buffer_size_kb
# mkdir instances/foo
# echo irqsoff > instances/foo/current_tracer
# echo 1000 > instances/foo/buffer_size_kb
Produces:
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 856 at kernel/trace/trace.c:1938 update_max_tr_single.part.0+0x27d/0x320
Which is:
ret = ring_buffer_swap_cpu(tr->max_buffer.buffer, tr->array_buffer.buffer, cpu);
if (ret == -EBUSY) {
[..]
}
WARN_ON_ONCE(ret && ret != -EAGAIN && ret != -EBUSY); <== here
That's because ring_buffer_swap_cpu() has:
int ret = -EINVAL;
[..]
/* At least make sure the two buffers are somewhat the same */
if (cpu_buffer_a->nr_pages != cpu_buffer_b->nr_pages)
goto out;
[..]
out:
return ret;
}
Instead, update all instances' snapshot buffer sizes when their main
buffer size is updated.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
