Subject: [for-next][PATCH 01/10] ring-buffer: Move cpus_read_lock() outside of buffer->mutex
From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@...dmis.org>
Running a modified trace-cmd record --nosplice where it does a mmap of the
ring buffer when '--nosplice' is set, caused the following lockdep splat:

The issue is that cpus_read_lock() is taken within buffer->mutex. The
memory mapped pages are taken with the mmap_lock held. The buffer->mutex
is taken within the cpu_buffer->mapping_lock. There's quite a chain with
all these locks, where the deadlock can be fixed by moving the
cpus_read_lock() outside the taking of the buffer->mutex.
