tracing: Use same local variable when resetting the ring buffer
commit 283740c6 upstream. In the ftrace code that resets the ring buffer it references the buffer with a local variable, but then uses the tr->buffer as the parameter to reset. If the wakeup tracer is running, which can switch the tr->buffer with the max saved buffer, this can break the requirement of disabling the buffer before the reset. buffer = tr->buffer; ring_buffer_record_disable(buffer); synchronize_sched(); __tracing_reset(tr->buffer, cpu); If the tr->buffer is swapped, then the reset is not happening to the buffer that was disabled. This will cause the ring buffer to fail. Found with Li Zefan's ftrace_stress_test. Reported-by:Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by:
