From 3554228d4289098a8fe5cfd87512ec32a19bbe5a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2009 09:41:26 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ring-buffer: only warn on wrap if buffer is bigger than two pages On boot up, to save memory, ftrace allocates the minimum buffer which is two pages. Ftrace also goes through a series of tests (when configured) on boot up. These tests can fill up a page within a single interrupt. The ring buffer also has a WARN_ON when it detects that the buffer was completely filled within a single commit (other commits are allowed to be nested). Combine the small buffer on start up, with the tests that can fill more than a single page within an interrupt, this can trigger the WARN_ON. This patch makes the WARN_ON only happen when the ring buffer consists of more than two pages.
