- Remove unneeded semicolon A macro ended with a semicolon that wasn't needed. - Fix freeing cpu_buffer extra subbuffer with order greater than zero When the cpu_buffer was being freed, its "free" page, was using free_page() to free it when it could be more than one page. - Hold the cpu_buffer lock when resizing the subbuffer The freeing of the "free" page of the cpu_buffer was done without locking. The order of the data was being saved and then the "free" page was set to NULL. But there is a race that the "free" page could have been updated between those two operations. Add locking around it to prevent the race. - Save the order of the data along with the data in the free page The cpu_buffer would store just the data portion of the subbuffer page in its descriptor. But it did not store the order of the data pages. The order was being saved in the global buffer descriptor. But this leads to races. Have the cpu_buffer save the subbuf data along with its metadata (which includes the order of the page) to make sure when it frees it, it frees the correct order along with it. - Remove the subbuf_size and use the order directly when needed Having a size field for the size of the subbufer along with its order allowed for races to have them get out of sync. Remove the subbuf_size and use the order from the subbuf meta data directly under locks. Use the subbuf_order for other calculations in the ring buffer. - Remove the useless "cpus" field of trace_buffer The code has been restructured and the "cpus" field is no longer used. Remove it. - Remove the "mapped" field of the ring buffer and use a helper function instead. The "mapped" field has become a bit overused and made the code come complex in using a counter for what is denoted as being mapped or not. There are other fields that are set when the ring buffer is considered mapped. Add a helper function to check those fields and use that instead of keeping track of a counter. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYKADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCaoC9jxQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qlJwAQDG/FAI6Zr4f2jUIoEWPL7KGkhmHeuv rP1bIJVeIoy+RgEA+vjq6PNNGvN2DO0qnotu5UAhHxywM1KaUKQjOCDaJQI= =f8Ym -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-ringbuffer-v7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt: - Remove unneeded semicolon A macro ended with a semicolon that wasn't needed. - Fix freeing cpu_buffer extra subbuffer with order greater than zero When the cpu_buffer was being freed, its "free" page, was using free_page() to free it when it could be more than one page. - Hold the cpu_buffer lock when resizing the subbuffer The freeing of the "free" page of the cpu_buffer was done without locking.
