Subject: [for-next][PATCH 3/5] ring-buffer: Clean up resize_disabled checks
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 15:33:33 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261019193345.501684622@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261019193330.365764549@kernel.org>
From: Vincent Donnefort <vdonnefort@google.com>
ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() checks for resize_disabled twice under
the same buffer->mutex hold. Moreover, this check duplicates the logic
in ring_buffer_resize(). Create a common helper rb_resize_disabled() to
factor out this code.
