3.16.75-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Eiichi Tsukata devel@etsukata.com
commit 46cc0b44428d0f0e81f11ea98217fc0edfbeab07 upstream.
Current snapshot implementation swaps two ring_buffers even though their sizes are different from each other, that can cause an inconsistency between the contents of buffer_size_kb file and the current buffer size.
For example:
# cat buffer_size_kb 7 (expanded: 1408) # echo 1 > events/enable # grep bytes per_cpu/cpu0/stats bytes: 1441020 # echo 1 > snapshot // current:1408, spare:1408 # echo 123 > buffer_size_kb // current:123, spare:1408 # echo 1 > snapshot // current:1408, spare:123 # grep bytes per_cpu/cpu0/stats bytes: 1443700 # cat buffer_size_kb 123 // != current:1408
And also, a similar per-cpu case hits the following WARNING:
Reproducer:
# echo 1 > per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot # echo 123 > buffer_size_kb # echo 1 > per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot

This patch adds resize_buffer_duplicate_size() to check if there is a difference between current/spare buffer sizes and resize a spare buffer if necessary.
