Currently if __tracing_resize_ring_buffer() returns an error, the tracing_resize_ringbuffer() returns -ENOMEM. But it may not be a memory issue that caused the function to fail. If the ring buffer is memory mapped, then the resizing of the ring buffer will be disabled. But if the user tries to resize the buffer, it will get an -ENOMEM returned, which is confusing because there is plenty of memory. The actual error returned was -EBUSY, which would make much more sense to the user.
