Jann Horn cffeb9c84d tracing: Fix buffer_ref pipe ops 
commit b987222654 upstream.

This fixes multiple issues in buffer_pipe_buf_ops:

 - The ->steal() handler must not return zero unless the pipe buffer has
   the only reference to the page. But generic_pipe_buf_steal() assumes
   that every reference to the pipe is tracked by the page's refcount,
   which isn't true for these buffers - buffer_pipe_buf_get(), which
   duplicates a buffer, doesn't touch the page's refcount.
   Fix it by using generic_pipe_buf_nosteal(), which refuses every
   attempted theft. It should be easy to actually support ->steal, but the
   only current users of pipe_buf_steal() are the virtio console and FUSE,
   and they also only use it as an optimization. So it's probably not worth
   the effort.
 - The ->get() and ->release() handlers can be invoked concurrently on pipe
   buffers backed by the same struct buffer_ref. Make them safe against
   concurrency by using refcount_t.
 - The pointers stored in ->private were only zeroed out when the last
   reference to the buffer_ref was dropped. As far as I know, this
   shouldn't be necessary anyway, but if we do it, let's always do it.

README 

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
