From f7112949f6a4cd6883d66c882d568c2197321de6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lai Jiangshan Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2009 19:42:45 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ring-buffer: Synchronize resizing buffer with reader lock We got a sudden panic when we reduced the size of the ringbuffer. We can reproduce the panic by the following steps: echo 1 > events/sched/enable cat trace_pipe > /dev/null & while ((1)) do echo 12000 > buffer_size_kb echo 512 > buffer_size_kb done (not more than 5 seconds, panic ...)
