[ Upstream commit7ef282e051] If a process has the trace_pipe open on a trace_array, the current tracer for that trace array should not be changed. This was original enforced by a global lock, but when instances were introduced, it was moved to the current_trace. But this structure is shared by all instances, and a trace_pipe is for a single instance. There's no reason that a process that has trace_pipe open on one instance should prevent another instance from changing its current tracer. Move the reference counter to the trace_array instead. This is marked as "Fixes" but is more of a clean up than a true fix. Backport if you want, but its not critical.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
