tracing: Do not allow mmap() of persistent ring buffer
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When trying to mmap a trace instance buffer that is attached to
reserve_mem, it would crash:

The reason was that the code that maps the ring buffer pages to user space
has:

	page = virt_to_page((void *)cpu_buffer->subbuf_ids[s]);

And uses that in:

	vm_insert_pages(vma, vma->vm_start, pages, &nr_pages);

But virt_to_page() does not work with vmap()'d memory which is what the
persistent ring buffer has. It is rather trivial to allow this, but for
now just disable mmap() of instances that have their ring buffer from the
reserve_mem option.

If an mmap() is performed on a persistent buffer it will return -ENODEV
just like it would if the .mmap field wasn't defined in the
file_operations structure.
