From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>
When the trace_pipe_raw file is closed, there should be no new readers on
the file descriptor. This is mostly handled with the waking and wait_index
fields of the iterator. But there's still a slight race.
CPU 0 CPU 1
----- -----
wait_index++;
index = wait_index;
ring_buffer_wake_waiters();
wait_on_pipe()
ring_buffer_wait();
The ring_buffer_wait() will miss the wakeup from CPU 1. The problem is
that the ring_buffer_wait() needs the logic of:
prepare_to_wait();
if (!condition)
schedule();
Where the missing condition check is the iter->wait_index update.
Have the ring_buffer_wait() take a conditional callback function and a
data parameter that can be used within the wait_event_interruptible() of
the ring_buffer_wait() function.
In wait_on_pipe(), pass a condition function that will check if the
wait_index has been updated, if it has, it will return true to break out
of the wait_event_interruptible() loop.
Create a new field "closed" in the trace_iterator and set it in the
.flush() callback before calling ring_buffer_wake_waiters().
This will keep any new readers from waiting on a closed file descriptor.
Have the wait_on_pipe() condition callback also check the closed field.
Change the wait_index field of the trace_iterator to atomic_t. There's no
reason it needs to be 'long' and making it atomic and using
atomic_read_acquire() and atomic_fetch_inc_release() will provide the
necessary memory barriers.
Add a "woken" flag to tracing_buffers_splice_read() to exit the loop after
one more try to fetch data. That is, if it waited for data and something
woke it up, it should try to collect any new data and then exit back to
user space.
