From: Qiujun Huang <hqjagain@xxxxxxxxx> commit 0a1754b2a97efa644aa6e84d1db5b17c42251483 upstream. 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; ...
