[Severity: Low]
In 2808e31ec12e ("ring-buffer: Add interface for configuring trace sub
buffer size"), ring_buffer_max_event_size() still read
buffer->max_data_size, which was initialized once at buffer allocation
and not updated by ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set(). It only started
computing the size dynamically from buffer->subbuf_order in 472ac478b14d
("ring-buffer: Dynamically calculate max_data_size"). Should the Fixes:
tag be:
Fixes: 472ac478b14d ("ring-buffer: Dynamically calculate max_data_size")
