From e30f53aad2202b5526c40c36d8eeac8bf290bde5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rabin Vincent Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2014 19:46:34 +0100 Subject: tracing: Do not busy wait in buffer splice On a !PREEMPT kernel, attempting to use trace-cmd results in a soft lockup: # trace-cmd record -e raw_syscalls:* -F false NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [trace-cmd:61] ... Call Trace: [] ? __wake_up_common+0x90/0x90 [] wait_on_pipe+0x35/0x40 [] tracing_buffers_splice_read+0x2e3/0x3c0 [] ? tracing_stats_read+0x2a0/0x2a0 [] ? _raw_spin_unlock+0x2b/0x40 [] ? do_read_fault+0x21b/0x290 [] ? handle_mm_fault+0x2ba/0xbd0 [] ? trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve+0x40/0x80 [] ? trace_buffer_lock_reserve+0x22/0x60 [] ? trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve+0x40/0x80 [] do_splice_to+0x6d/0x90 [] SyS_splice+0x7c1/0x800 [] tracesys_phase2+0xd3/0xd8 The problem is this: tracing_buffers_splice_read() calls ring_buffer_wait() to wait for data in the ring buffers. The buffers are not empty so ring_buffer_wait() returns immediately. But tracing_buffers_splice_read() calls ring_buffer_read_page() with full=1, meaning it only wants to read a full page. When the full page is not available, tracing_buffers_splice_read() tries to wait again with ring_buffer_wait(), which again returns immediately, and so on. Fix this by adding a "full" argument to ring_buffer_wait() which will make ring_buffer_wait() wait until the writer has left the reader's page, i.e. until full-page reads will succeed.
