From: Gaurav Kohli <gkohli@codeaurora.org> commit bbeb97464eefc65f506084fd9f18f21653e01137 upstream. Below race can come, if trace_open and resize of cpu buffer is running parallely on different cpus CPUX CPUY ring_buffer_resize atomic_read(&buffer->resize_disabled) tracing_open tracing_reset_online_cpus ring_buffer_reset_cpu rb_reset_cpu rb_update_pages remove/insert pages resetting pointer This race can cause data abort or some times infinte loop in rb_remove_pages and rb_insert_pages while checking pages for sanity. Take buffer lock to fix this. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1601976833-24377-1-git-send-email-gkohli@codeauror...
