Subject: [PATCH] ring-buffer: Use a macro for static buffer bits
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 15:16:41 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904151641.17eae0aa@gandalf.local.home> (raw)
From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Instead of hard coding 30 for the number of bits used for the static
buffer ids in two places, create a macro. This way if it changes in the
future, it will change in all the locations that use it.
