From 621968cdb2563b667d6ecb484ba91ef4c3a797b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2009 12:02:35 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: disable buffers and synchronize_sched before resetting Resetting the ring buffers while traces are happening can corrupt the ring buffer and disable it (no kernel crash to worry about). The safest thing to do is disable the ring buffers, call synchronize_sched() to wait for all current writers to finish and then reset the buffer.
