Subject: [PATCH printk-rework 01/14] printk: limit second loop of syslog_print_all
Date: Thu, 18 Feb 2021 09:18:04 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210218081817.28849-2-john.ogness@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210218081817.28849-1-john.ogness@linutronix.de>

The second loop of syslog_print_all() subtracts lengths that were
added in the first loop. With commit b031a684bfd0 ("printk: remove
logbuf_lock writer-protection of ringbuffer") it is possible that
records are (over)written during syslog_print_all(). This allows the
possibility of the second loop subtracting lengths that were never
added in the first loop.

This situation can result in syslog_print_all() filling the buffer
starting from a later record, even though there may have been room
to fit the earlier record(s) as well.

Fixes: b031a684bfd0 ("printk: remove logbuf_lock writer-protection of ringbuffer")
