    ring-buffer: Move resize integrity check under reader lock · dd7f5943
    Steven Rostedt authored
    While using an application that does splice on the ftrace ring
    buffer at start up, I triggered an integrity check failure.
    
    Looking into this, I discovered that resizing the buffer performs
    an integrity check after the buffer is resized. This check unfortunately
    is preformed after it releases the reader lock. If a reader is
    reading the buffer it may cause the integrity check to trigger a
    false failure.
    
    This patch simply moves the integrity checker under the protection
    of the ring buffer reader lock.
