Revision 528871b456026e6127d95b1b2bd8e3a003dc1614 authored by Ingo Molnar on 13 February 2019, 06:57:02 UTC, committed by Ingo Molnar on 13 February 2019, 07:05:02 UTC
The following commit: 9dff0aa95a32 ("perf/core: Don't WARN() for impossible ring-buffer sizes") results in perf recording failures with larger mmap areas: root@skl:/tmp# perf record -g -a failed to mmap with 12 (Cannot allocate memory) The root cause is that the following condition is buggy: if (order_base_2(size) >= MAX_ORDER) goto fail; The problem is that @size is in bytes and MAX_ORDER is in pages, so the right test is: if (order_base_2(size) >= PAGE_SHIFT+MAX_ORDER) goto fail; Fix it.
