[PATCH v2 4/4] coresight: ultrasoc-smb: Prevent per-thread events from sharing a sink

James Clark james.clark at linaro.org
Thu Jul 9 08:25:24 PDT 2026


Like the previous commit to ETR, SMB sinks shouldn't share per-thread
events. Fix it by returning -EBUSY if a second per-thread event tries to
use the same sink.

Fixes: 06f5c2926aaa ("drivers/coresight: Add UltraSoc System Memory Buffer driver")
