Subject: [for-next][PATCH 09/18] ring-buffer: Rename ring_buffer_size() to ring_buffer_capacity()
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 10:31:24 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261016143135.930816404@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261016143115.392980228@kernel.org>
From: Vincent Donnefort <vdonnefort@google.com>
Since commit 8a5f63637890 ("ring-buffer: Fix subbuf resize race with
ring buffer readers"), "capacity" refers to the memory available for
events (excluding subbuffer headers) while "size" refers to the raw
allocation. ring_buffer_size() actually calculates this event capacity.
Rename it to ring_buffer_capacity() to align with this convention.
