[for-linus][PATCH 1/2] tracing: Fix trace_find_next_entry() accounting of temp buffer size

[Steven Rostedt]

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The temp buffer size variable for trace_find_next_entry() was incorrectly
being updated when the size did not change. The temp buffer size should only
be updated when it is reallocated.

This is mostly an issue when used with ftrace_dump(). That's because
ftrace_dump() can not allocate a new buffer, and instead uses a temporary
buffer with a fix size. But the variable that keeps track of that size is
incorrectly updated with each call, and it could fall into the path that
would try to reallocate the buffer and produce a warning.

Not only fix the updating of the temp buffer, but also do not free the temp
buffer before a new buffer is allocated (there's no reason to not continue
to use the current temp buffer if an allocation fails).
