From ee51a1de7e3837577412be269e0100038068e691 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2008 14:58:31 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: fix mmiotrace resizing crash Pekka reported a crash when resizing the mmiotrace tracer (if only mmiotrace is enabled). This happens because in that case we do not allocate the max buffer, but we try to use it. Make ring_buffer_resize() idempotent against NULL buffers.
