Yes, got your point. then we can avoid export. Actually we are seeing

If you mark this patch for stable, you can add:
Depends-on: b23d7a5f4a07 ("ring-buffer: speed up buffer resets by
avoiding synchronize_rcu for each CPU")
Thanks Steven, Yes this needs to be back ported. I have tried this in
5.4 but this need more patches like

tracing: Make struct ring_buffer less ambiguous
Instead of protecting all reset, can we do it individually like below:

Hi Steven,
Not seeing issue with above patch in 5.4, Please let me know if above
approach looks good to you, will raise patch for same.
Otherwise we will raise patch for older approach by marking depends on
of below patch:
depends-on: b23d7a5f4a07 ("ring-buffer: speed up buffer resets by
Thanks,

Please let me know, if above looks good, we will do testing with this.
And this we can directly use in older kernel as well in
ring_buffer_reset_cpu.
Actually i have also thought to take mutex lock in ring_buffer_reset_cpu
while doing individual cpu reset, but this could cause another problem:
Hmm, I think we should also take the buffer lock in the reset_cpu() call
too, and modify tracing_reset_cpu() the same way.
if we take above patch, then this is not required.
Please let me know for the approach.
Different cpu buffer may have different state, so i have taken lock in
tracing_reset_online_cpus.
Why would different states be an issue in synchronizing?

Yes, this should not be problem.
