Subject: perf: Fix ring_buffer_attach() RCU sync, again
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2f993cf093643b98477c421fa2b9a98dcc940323;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

perf: Fix ring_buffer_attach() RCU sync, again

While looking for other users of get_state/cond_sync. I Found
ring_buffer_attach() and it looks obviously buggy?

Don't we need to ensure that we have "synchronize" _between_
list_del() and list_add() ?

IOW. Suppose that ring_buffer_attach() preempts right_after
get_state_synchronize_rcu() and gp completes before spin_lock().

In this case cond_synchronize_rcu() does nothing and we reuse
->rb_entry without waiting for gp in between?

It also moves the ->rcu_pending check under "if (rb)", to make it
more readable imo.
