[ 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.
