From 320bf43190514be5c00e11f47ec2160dd3993844 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yoann Congal Date: Sun, 5 May 2024 10:03:41 +0200 Subject: printk: Fix LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT when BASE_SMALL is enabled LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT default value depends on BASE_SMALL: config LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT default 12 if !BASE_SMALL default 0 if BASE_SMALL But, BASE_SMALL is a config of type int and "!BASE_SMALL" is always evaluated to true whatever is the value of BASE_SMALL. This patch fixes this by using the correct conditional operator for int type : BASE_SMALL != 0. Note: This changes CONFIG_LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT=12 to CONFIG_LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT=0 for BASE_SMALL defconfigs, but that will not be a big impact due to this code in kernel/printk/printk.c: /* by default this will only continue through for large > 64 CPUs */ if (cpu_extra <= __LOG_BUF_LEN / 2) return; Systems using CONFIG_BASE_SMALL and having 64+ CPUs should be quite rare.
