Subject: Fix: pass proper args when writing commit counter
X-Git-Tag: v2.4.2~13
X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org/?p=lttng-ust.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=bae63afc923740627352cdd6b0aeab1b0706387e

Fix: pass proper args when writing commit counter

lib_ring_buffer_write_commit_counter()'s 'buf_offset' argument should
contain offset of beginning of area used by the record being comitted.

However, lib_ring_buffer_commit() passes ctx->buf_offset, that gets
advanced by lib_ring_buffer_write() and thus points to just-after-
end-of-record at lib_ring_buffer_commit() time. This causes
lib_ring_buffer_write_commit_counter() to return without changing
commit_hot[idx].seq, due to

    if (unlikely(subbuf_offset(offset - commit_count, chan)))
            return;

Since after-crash data extraction tool checks 'seq' field to find out
how much data is in buffer, this results into inavailability of
data from partially-filled subbuffer for after-crash analysis.

This patch modifies lib_ring_buffer_write_commit_counter() and all its
callers to pass and expect the end of the area. So code works as it
should, and complete information becomes visible in crash dump.

[ Fix ported from lttng-modules. Changelog inspired from Nikita
Yushchenko's original patch. ]

Fixes #785
