Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 1/2] ring-buffer: Return 0 on success from ring_buffer_resize()
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2020 10:16:10 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201023141759.821185545@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20201023141609.430954343@goodmis.org

From: Qiujun Huang <hqjagain@gmail.com>

We don't need to check the new buffer size, and the return value
had confused resize_buffer_duplicate_size().
...
	ret = ring_buffer_resize(trace_buf->buffer,
		per_cpu_ptr(size_buf->data,cpu_id)->entries, cpu_id);
	if (ret == 0)
		per_cpu_ptr(trace_buf->data, cpu_id)->entries =
			per_cpu_ptr(size_buf->data, cpu_id)->entries;
...
