From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rost...@goodmis.org> Limit the max print event of trace_marker to just 4K string size. This must also be less than the amount that can be held by a trace_seq along with the text that is before the output (like the task name, PID, CPU, state, etc). As trace_seq is made to handle large events (some greater than 4K). Make the max size of a trace_marker write event be 4K which is guaranteed to fit in the trace_seq buffer.

The trace_seq is already made to handle events greater than 4k. kernel/trace/trace.c | 10 +++++----- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/trace/trace.c b/kernel/trace/trace.c index 8198bfc54b58..d16b95ca58a7 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/trace.c +++ b/kernel/trace/trace.c @@ -7293,6 +7293,8 @@ tracing_free_buffer_release(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp) return 0; } +#define TRACE_MARKER_MAX_SIZE 4096 + static ssize_t tracing_mark_write(struct file *filp, const char __user *ubuf, size_t cnt, loff_t *fpos) @@ -7320,6 +7322,9 @@ tracing_mark_write(struct file *filp, const char __user *ubuf, if ((ssize_t)cnt < 0) return -EINVAL; + if (cnt > TRACE_MARKER_MAX_SIZE) + cnt = TRACE_MARKER_MAX_SIZE; + meta_size = sizeof(*entry) + 2; /* add '\0' and possible '\n' */ again: size = cnt + meta_size; @@ -7328,11 +7333,6 @@ tracing_mark_write(struct file *filp, const char __user *ubuf, if (cnt < FAULTED_SIZE) size += FAULTED_SIZE - cnt; - if (size > TRACE_SEQ_BUFFER_SIZE) { - cnt -= size - TRACE_SEQ_BUFFER_SIZE; - goto again; - } - buffer = tr->array_buffer.buffer; event = __trace_buffer_lock_reserve(buffer, TRACE_PRINT, size, tracing_gen_ctx()); -- 2.43.0
