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.
