In case trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() is called with preemption enabled, the algorithm that defines the usage of the per cpu filter buffer may fail if the task schedules to another CPU after determining which buffer it will use. Disable preemption when using the filter buffer. And because that same buffer must be used throughout the call, keep preemption disabled until the filter buffer is released. This will also keep the semantics between the use case of when the filter buffer is used, and when the ring buffer itself is used, as that case also disables preemption until the ring buffer is released.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
