[PATCH net-next 4/4] netconsole: Increase MAX_USERDATA_ITEMS
Posted by Gustavo Luiz Duarte 1 month, 1 week ago
Increase MAX_USERDATA_ITEMS from 16 to 256 entries now that the userdata
buffer is allocated dynamically.

The previous limit of 16 was necessary because the buffer was statically
allocated for all targets. With dynamic allocation, we can support more
entries without wasting memory on targets that don't use userdata.

This allows users to attach more metadata to their netconsole messages,
which is useful for complex debugging and logging scenarios.

Also update the testcase accordingly.
