[PATCH 2/2] tracing: Add trace_trigger_soft_disabled() in front of trace_event_buffer_reserve() in trace_inject_entry()

From: Jiang Jiasheng
Date: Thu Sep 02 2021 - 23:35:09 EST


Directly use trace_event_buffer_reserve() might be unsafe,
as we can see from the trace_trigger_soft_disabled() of
'include/linux/trace_events.h' that if the value of
file->flags is 256, the check in the trace_trigger_soft_disabled()
will be passed but actually shouldn't have.
Therefore, we suggest that trace_trigger_soft_disabled()
should be added in front of the trace_event_buffer_reserve()
in trace_inject_entry().
