ring-buffer: Fix wrong stat of cpu_buffer->read
[ Upstream commit 2d093282b0d4357373497f65db6a05eb0c28b7c8 ] When pages are removed in rb_remove_pages(), 'cpu_buffer->read' is set to 0 in order to make sure any read iterators reset themselves. However, this will mess 'entries' stating, see following steps: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/ # 1. Enlarge ring buffer prepare for later reducing: # echo 20 > per_cpu/cpu0/buffer_size_kb # 2. Write a log into ring buffer of cpu0: # taskset -c 0 echo "hello1" > trace_marker # 3. Read the log: # cat per_cpu/cpu0/trace_pipe <...>-332 [000] ..... 62.406844: tracing_mark_write: hello1 # 4. Stop reading and see the stats, now 0 entries, and 1 event readed: # cat per_cpu/cpu0/stats entries: 0 [...] read events: 1 # 5. Reduce the ring buffer # echo 7 > per_cpu/cpu0/buffer_size_kb # 6. Now entries became unexpected 1 because actually no entries!!! # cat per_cpu/cpu0/stats entries: 1 [...] read events: 0 To fix it, introduce 'page_removed' field to count total removed pages since last reset, then use it to let read iterators reset themselves instead of changing the 'read' pointer.
