Subject: [PATCH v2 6/7] trace2: remove use of ALLOC_GROW()
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 18:56:20 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <120cf1967bde4e719a781c391b285c718553ad58.1787684181.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2178.v2.git.1787684181.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Derrick Stolee <stolee@gmail.com>

The ALLOC_GROW() helper can call die() on a failed memory allocation.
We need to remove this from the trace2 API code to prevent a recursive
die() handler.

This helper is used to track the nested region stack. Use a new
skipped_regions member to track how many times a region was entered
without being added to the stack, and decrease that amount as we leave
each region. This allows us to avoid a failure and instead stop
deepening the stack, giving as much nesting behavior as possible without
failing the entire process.
