Petr Pavlu bc5b79df6d tracing: Fix a warning when allocating buffered events fails
[ Upstream commit 34209fe83ef8404353f91ab4ea4035dbc9922d04 ]

Function trace_buffered_event_disable() produces an unexpected warning
when the previous call to trace_buffered_event_enable() fails to
allocate pages for buffered events.

The situation can occur as follows:

* The counter trace_buffered_event_ref is at 0.

* The soft mode gets enabled for some event and
  trace_buffered_event_enable() is called. The function increments
  trace_buffered_event_ref to 1 and starts allocating event pages.

* The allocation fails for some page and trace_buffered_event_disable()
  is called for cleanup.

* Function trace_buffered_event_disable() decrements
  trace_buffered_event_ref back to 0, recognizes that it was the last
  use of buffered events and frees all allocated pages.

* The control goes back to trace_buffered_event_enable() which returns.
  The caller of trace_buffered_event_enable() has no information that
  the function actually failed.

* Some time later, the soft mode is disabled for the same event.
  Function trace_buffered_event_disable() is called. It warns on
  "WARN_ON_ONCE(!trace_buffered_event_ref)" and returns.

Buffered events are just an optimization and can handle failures. Make
trace_buffered_event_enable() exit on the first failure and left any
cleanup later to when trace_buffered_event_disable() is called.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
