From bf5e6519b85b3853f2d0bb4f17a4e2eaeffeb574 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2008 21:46:00 -0500 Subject: ftrace: disable tracing on resize Impact: fix for bug on resize This patch addresses the bug found here: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11996 When ftrace converted to the new unified trace buffer, the resizing of the buffer was not protected as much as it was originally. If tracing is performed while the resize occurs, then the buffer can be corrupted. This patch disables all ftrace buffer modifications before a resize takes place.
