From f3ddb74ad0790030c9592229fb14d8c451f4e9a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" rostedt@goodmis.org Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2022 19:15:27 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Wake up ring buffer waiters on closing of the file
When the file that represents the ring buffer is closed, there may be waiters waiting on more input from the ring buffer. Call ring_buffer_wake_waiters() to wake up any waiters when the file is closed.
