From d251b9818302b01d2ee5201084d8bd59f090becb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2023 10:00:50 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ring-buffer: Test last update in 32bit version of __rb_time_read() commit f458a1453424e03462b5bb539673c9a3cddda480 upstream. Since 64 bit cmpxchg() is very expensive on 32bit architectures, the timestamp used by the ring buffer does some interesting tricks to be able to still have an atomic 64 bit number. It originally just used 60 bits and broke it up into two 32 bit words where the extra 2 bits were used for synchronization. But this was not enough for all use cases, and all 64 bits were required. The 32bit version of the ring buffer timestamp was then broken up into 3 32bit words using the same counter trick. But one update was not done. The check to see if the read operation was done without interruption only checked the first two words and not last one (like it had before this update). Fix it by making sure all three updates happen without interruption by comparing the initial counter with the last updated counter.
