This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tracing: Fix sleeping while atomic in kdb ftdump to the 5.18-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tracing-fix-sleeping-while-atomic-in-kdb-ftdump.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.18 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8038429cae97fdfae64a7a784449952e3455081d Author: Douglas Anderson <dianders@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jul 8 17:09:52 2022 -0700 tracing: Fix sleeping while atomic in kdb ftdump [ Upstream commit 495fcec8648cdfb483b5b9ab310f3839f07cb3b8 ] If you drop into kdb and type "ftdump" you'll get a sleeping while atomic warning from memory allocation in trace_find_next_entry(). This appears to have been caused by commit ff895103a84a ("tracing: Save off entry when peeking at next entry"), which added the allocation in that path. The problematic commit was already fixed by commit 8e99cf91b99b ("tracing: Do not allocate buffer in trace_find_next_entry() in atomic") but that fix missed the kdb case. The fix here is easy: just move the assignment of the static buffer to the place where it should have been to begin with: trace_init_global_iter(). That function is called in two places, once is right before the assignment of the static buffer added by the previous fix and once is in kdb. Note that it appears that there's a second static buffer that we need to assign that was added in commit efbbdaa22bb7 ("tracing: Show real address for trace event arguments"), so we'll move that too.
