From a54164114b96b4693b42cdb553260eec41ea4393 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hiraku Toyooka Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2012 16:02:34 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Add checks if tr->buffer is NULL in tracing_reset{_online_cpus} max_tr->buffer could be NULL in the tracing_reset{_online_cpus}. In this case, a NULL pointer dereference happens, so we should return immediately from these functions. Note, the current code does not call tracing_reset*() with max_tr when its buffer is NULL, but future code will. This patch is needed to prevent the future code from crashing.
