Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.14 516/642] pstore: Change kmsg_bytes storage size to u32
Date: Mon, 5 May 2025 18:12:12 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250505221419.2672473-516-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250505221419.2672473-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit 5674609535bafa834ab014d90d9bbe8e89223a0b ]
The types around kmsg_bytes were inconsistent. The global was unsigned
long, the argument to pstore_set_kmsg_bytes() was int, and the filesystem
option was u32. Given other internal limits, there's not much sense
in making a single pstore record larger than INT_MAX and it can't be
negative, so use u32 everywhere. Additionally, use READ/WRITE_ONCE and a
local variable in pstore_dump() to avoid kmsg_bytes changing during a
dump.
