Subject: perf/core: Fix impossible ring-buffer sizes warning
X-Git-Tag: v5.15~6982^2
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=528871b456026e6127d95b1b2bd8e3a003dc1614;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-starfive.git

perf/core: Fix impossible ring-buffer sizes warning

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.
