_irq_disable(); udelay(100); local_irq_enable(); /* stop the tracing. */ tracing_stop(); /* check both trace buffers */ ret = trace_test_buffer(tr, NULL); If a callsite performs a new max delay with irqs off just after tracing_stop, update_max_tr_single() -> ring_buffer_swap_cpu() will be called with the buffers disabled by tracing_stop(), hence the warning, then ring_buffer_swap_cpu() return -EAGAIN and update_max_tr_single() complains. Fix it by also stopping the tracer before stopping the tracing globally. A similar situation can happen with preemptoff and preemptirqsoff tracers where we apply the same fix.
