Subject: [PATCH v10 3/4] ring-buffer: Cap static ring buffer nr_pages
Date: Fri,  4 Sep 2026 17:44:49 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904164450.1345852-4-vdonnefort@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260904164450.1345852-1-vdonnefort@google.com>

Static ring buffers (i.e. persistent, user-mapped and remote) rely on
the bpage::id field. The number of pages for those ring buffers must fit
into that variable. Enforce this limit on ring buffer creation or
user-mapping.

While at it, prevent nr_pages underflow when allocating a persistent
buffer.

Fixes: be68d63a139b ("ring-buffer: Add ring_buffer_alloc_range()")
Signed-off-by: Vincent Donnefort <vdonnefort@google.com>
