From: Steven Rostedt <rost...@goodmis.org>
When running the following:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
# echo 1 > events/sched/sched_waking/enable
# echo 1 > events/sched/sched_switch/enable
# echo 0 > tracing_on
# dd if=per_cpu/cpu0/trace_pipe_raw of=/tmp/raw0.dat
The dd task would get stuck in an infinite loop in the kernel. What would
happen is the following:
When ring_buffer_read_page() returns -1 (no data) then a check is made to
see if the buffer is empty (as happens when the page is not full), it will
call wait_on_pipe() to wait until the ring buffer has data. When it is it
will try again to read data (unless O_NONBLOCK is set).
The issue happens when there's a reader and the file descriptor is closed.
The wait_on_pipe() will return when that is the case. But this loop will
continue to try again and wait_on_pipe() will again return immediately and
the loop will continue and never stop.
Simply check if the file was closed before looping and exit out if it is.
