This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tracing: Add tracing_reset_all_online_cpus_unlocked() function to the 5.10-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-add-tracing_reset_all_online_cpus_unlocked-function.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From e18eb8783ec4949adebc7d7b0fdb65f65bfeefd9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2022 14:25:57 -0500 Subject: tracing: Add tracing_reset_all_online_cpus_unlocked() function From: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit e18eb8783ec4949adebc7d7b0fdb65f65bfeefd9 upstream. Currently the tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() requires the trace_types_lock held. But only one caller of this function actually has that lock held before calling it, and the other just takes the lock so that it can call it. More users of this function is needed where the lock is not held. Add a tracing_reset_all_online_cpus_unlocked() function for the one use case that calls it without being held, and also add a lockdep_assert to make sure it is held when called. Then have tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() take the lock internally, such that callers do not need to worry about taking it.
