    tracing: Fix buffer_ref pipe ops · b9872226
    Jann Horn authored
    This fixes multiple issues in buffer_pipe_buf_ops:
    
     - The ->steal() handler must not return zero unless the pipe buffer has
       the only reference to the page. But generic_pipe_buf_steal() assumes
       that every reference to the pipe is tracked by the page's refcount,
       which isn't true for these buffers - buffer_pipe_buf_get(), which
       duplicates a buffer, doesn't touch the page's refcount.
       Fix it by using generic_pipe_buf_nosteal(), which refuses every
       attempted theft. It should be easy to actually support ->steal, but the
       only current users of pipe_buf_steal() are the virtio console and FUSE,
       and they also only use it as an optimization. So it's probably not worth
       the effort.
     - The ->get() and ->release() handlers can be invoked concurrently on pipe
       buffers backed by the same struct buffer_ref. Make them safe against
       concurrency by using refcount_t.
     - The pointers stored in ->private were only zeroed out when the last
       reference to the buffer_ref was dropped. As far as I know, this
       shouldn't be necessary anyway, but if we do it, let's always do it.
