Subject: [PATCH v1 4/9] tracing: Cache ring_buffer_max_event_size() for trace_marker
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 14:14:35 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261112141440.3050124-5-vdonnefort@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261112141440.3050124-1-vdonnefort@google.com>

write_marker_to_buffer() calls ring_buffer_max_event_size() twice
without synchronisation against ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set(). If
subbuf_order grows between the two calls, cnt may expand past
TRACE_MARKER_MAX_SIZE. Read the maximum event size once so cnt can only
shrink, and drop the now-unreachable WARN_ON_ONCE().

Fixes: 2808e31ec12e ("ring-buffer: Add interface for configuring trace sub buffer size")
