commit bbeb97464eefc65f506084fd9f18f21653e01137 upstream. Below race can come, if trace_open and resize of cpu buffer is running parallely on different cpus CPUX CPUY ring_buffer_resize atomic_read(&buffer->resize_disabled) tracing_open tracing_reset_online_cpus ring_buffer_reset_cpu rb_reset_cpu rb_update_pages remove/insert pages resetting pointer This race can cause data abort or some times infinte loop in rb_remove_pages and rb_insert_pages while checking pages for sanity. Take buffer lock to fix this.

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. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
