[PATCH v3 10/15] tracing: Stop the tracing while changing the ring buffer subbuf size

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed Dec 13 2023 - 13:21:36 EST


From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Because the main buffer and the snapshot buffer need to be the same for
some tracers, otherwise it will fail and disable all tracing, the tracers
need to be stopped while updating the sub buffer sizes so that the tracers
see the main and snapshot buffers with the same sub buffer size.

Fixes: TBD ("ring-buffer: Add interface for configuring trace sub buffer size")
