Subject: [RFC PATCH 04/20] rv: Use static arrays for rv_monitor name and description
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 11:05:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831090524.106845-5-gmonaco@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831090524.106845-1-gmonaco@redhat.com>
Name and description in struct rv_monitor are currently defined as
pointers, which are assigned during initialisation. This means they are
not clearly in the structure and this can be a problem if the struct
needs to be reused in other contexts (like BPF's struct_opts).
Make the fields static arrays with defined size, limit the description
to 128 bytes (much longer than any current description). This slightly
increases the kernel size as the full space for the strings is reserved,
but that's a minor increase as each monitor has a single instance of
struct rv_monitor, total increase around 100B per monitor, uncompressed.
