From 1027fcb206a0fb8348e63aff078c74bdee1c2698 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2009 11:33:20 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
