    Subject[019/116] tracing: Use same local variable when resetting the ring buffer
    2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

    ------------------

    From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

    commit 283740c619d211e34572cc93c8cdba92ccbdb9cc upstream.

    In the ftrace code that resets the ring buffer it references the
    buffer with a local variable, but then uses the tr->buffer as the
    parameter to reset. If the wakeup tracer is running, which can
    switch the tr->buffer with the max saved buffer, this can break
    the requirement of disabling the buffer before the reset.

    buffer = tr->buffer;
    ring_buffer_record_disable(buffer);
    synchronize_sched();
    __tracing_reset(tr->buffer, cpu);

    If the tr->buffer is swapped, then the reset is not happening to the
    buffer that was disabled. This will cause the ring buffer to fail.

    Found with Li Zefan's ftrace_stress_test.
