From: Steven Rostedt Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2009 15:33:20 +0000 (-0400) Subject: tracing: protect ring_buffer_expanded with trace_types_lock X-Git-Tag: v2.6.30-rc1~2^2~41^2~14 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1027fcb206a0fb8348e63aff078c74bdee1c2698;p=karo-tx-linux.git tracing: protect ring_buffer_expanded with trace_types_lock Impact: prevent races with ring_buffer_expanded This patch places the expanding of the tracing buffer under the protection of the trace_types_lock mutex. It is highly unlikely that there would be any contention, but better safe than sorry.
