From a8ccf1d6f60e3e6ae63122e02378cd4d40dd4aac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2008 11:32:24 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ring-buffer: fix dangling commit race Impact: fix stuck trace-buffers If an interrupt comes in during the rb_set_commit_to_write and pushes the tail page forward just at the right time, the commit updates will miss the adding of the interrupt data. This will cause the commit pointer to cease from moving forward. Thanks to Jiaying Zhang for finding this race.
