Subject: [PATCH RT] printk: handle iterating while buffer changing
Date: Mon, 7 Oct 2019 17:14:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191007151450.pox2wys5zlzzmhke@linutronix.de> (raw)

From: John Ogness <john.ogness@linutronix.de>

The syslog and kmsg_dump readers are provided buffers to fill.
Both try to maximize the provided buffer usage by calculating the
maximum number of messages that can fit. However, if after the
calculation, messages are dropped and new messages added, the
calculation will no longer match.

For syslog, add a check to make sure the provided buffer is not
overfilled.

For kmsg_dump, start over by recalculating the messages
available.

This reassembles the behaviour that commit
   c9dccacfccc72 ("printk: Do not lose last line in kmsg buffer dump")

did for the "old" printk code.
