    ring-buffer: Have ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() return error on offline CPU · 78f2e29f

    Chunyu Hu reported:
      "per_cpu trace directories and files are created for all possible cpus,
       but only the cpus which have ever been on-lined have their own per cpu
       ring buffer (allocated by cpuhp threads). While trace_buffers_open, the
       open handler for trace file 'trace_pipe_raw' is always trying to access
       field of ring_buffer_per_cpu, and would panic with the NULL pointer.
    
       Align the behavior of trace_pipe_raw with trace_pipe, that returns -NODEV
       when openning it if that cpu does not have trace ring buffer.
    
       Reproduce:
       cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/per_cpu/cpu31/trace_pipe_raw
       (cpu31 is never on-lined, this is a 16 cores x86_64 box)
    
       Tested with:
       1) boot with maxcpus=14, read trace_pipe_raw of cpu15.
          Got -NODEV.
       2) oneline cpu15, read trace_pipe_raw of cpu15.
          Get the raw trace data.
    
       Call trace:

    This was introduced by the addition of the feature to reuse reader pages
    instead of re-allocating them. The problem is that the allocation of a
    reader page (which is per cpu) does not check if the cpu is online and set
    up for the ring buffer.
