There is race issue when concurrently splice_read main trace_pipe and per_cpu trace_pipes which will result in data read out being different from what actually writen. As suggested by Steven: > I believe we should add a ref count to trace_pipe and the per_cpu > trace_pipes, where if they are opened, nothing else can read it. > > Opening trace_pipe locks all per_cpu ref counts, if any of them are > open, then the trace_pipe open will fail (and releases any ref counts > it had taken). > > Opening a per_cpu trace_pipe will up the ref count for just that > CPU buffer. This will allow multiple tasks to read different per_cpu > trace_pipe files, but will prevent the main trace_pipe file from > being opened. But because we only need to know whether per_cpu trace_pipe is open or not, using a cpumask instead of using ref count may be easier. After this patch, users will find that: - Main trace_pipe can be opened by only one user, and if it is opened, all per_cpu trace_pipes cannot be opened; - Per_cpu trace_pipes can be opened by multiple users, but each per_cpu trace_pipe can only be opened by one user. And if one of them is opened, main trace_pipe cannot be opened.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
