From: Xiao Yang yangx.jy@cn.fujitsu.com Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2020 09:51:45 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix the race between registering 'snapshot' event trigger and triggering 'snapshot' operation
Traced event can trigger 'snapshot' operation(i.e. calls snapshot_trigger() or snapshot_count_trigger()) when register_snapshot_trigger() has completed registration but doesn't allocate buffer for 'snapshot' event trigger. In the rare case, 'snapshot' operation always detects the lack of allocated buffer so make register_snapshot_trigger() allocate buffer first.
trigger-snapshot.tc in kselftest reproduces the issue on slow vm: ----------------------------------------------------------- cat trace ... ftracetest-3028 [002] .... 236.784290: sched_process_fork: comm=ftracetest pid=3028 child_comm=ftracetest child_pid=3036 <...>-2875 [003] .... 240.460335: tracing_snapshot_instance_cond: *** SNAPSHOT NOT ALLOCATED *** <...>-2875 [003] .... 240.460338: tracing_snapshot_instance_cond: *** stopping trace here! *** -----------------------------------------------------------
