[PATCH 0/2] Fix high-order allocations for AUX space
Posted by Shuai Xue 2 years, 8 months ago
When perf-record with large AUX area, it reveals WARNINGs with __alloc_pages.
Fix with correct MAX_ORDER limit to request higher order allocations so that
larger contiguous areas is allocated. 

Shuai Xue (2):
  perf/core: Bail out early if the request AUX area is out of bound
  perf/ring_buffer: Fix high-order allocations for AUX space with
    correct MAX_ORDER limit
