[PATCH v5 00/10] ring-buffer: Fixes for subbuf resizing and persistent buffers

[Vincent Donnefort <vdonnefort@google.com>]

This series addresses multiple issues discovered with the dynamic ring
buffer resizing.

Changelog:

v5:

  - Reset info->spare_read only when data is in the ring-buffer (Sashiko)
  - Use `unsigned long` for subbuf_size declaration to avoid 32-bit
    truncation. (Sashiko)
  - Make cpu_buffer::free_page a buffer_read_data_page
  - Update kerneldoc for ring_buffer_alloc_read_page()

v4 (https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260812153311.2328812-1-vdonnefort@google.com/):

  - Add rb_subbuf_start() helper (Steven)
  - kerneldoc additions
  - Fix races in trace_pipe_raw readers
  - Use rb_subbuf_capacity() in ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set()
  - use rb_page_capacity() in ring_buffer_map_get_reader (Sashiko)
  - Fix 32-bit overflow in ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() (Sashiko)
  - Hold cpu_buffer::lock when modifying cpu_buffer->free_page in
    ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set (Sashiko)

v3 (https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260810125633.3344684-1-vdonnefort@google.com/):

  - Drop first 3 patches (Rebased on 7.2-rc7)
  - Add a patch to align "nr_pages" to unsigned int
  - Add a patch to remove useless trace_buffer::cpus
  - Add unsigned long cast for rb_subbuf_size()
  - subbuf_order fix for rb_free_cpu_buffer() (Sashiko)
  - Use __always_inline just like the other accessors for the hot-path.

v2 (https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260806211306.3704194-1-vdonnefort@google.com/):

  - Prevent resizing of the persistent ring buffer
  - Add missing bpage::order init
  - Rework subbuf_size/subbuf_order (Sashiko)
  - Remove ring_buffer_per_cpu::mapped
  - Dynamically calculate trace_buffer::max_data_size

v1 (https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260805153225.2096152-1-vdonnefort@google.com/)
