The allocation of the per CPU buffer descriptor, the buffer page
descriptors and the buffer page data itself can be pretty ugly:
kzalloc_node(ALIGN(sizeof(struct buffer_page), cache_line_size()),
GFP_KERNEL, cpu_to_node(cpu));
And the data pages:
page = alloc_pages_node(cpu_to_node(cpu),
GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL | __GFP_COMP | __GFP_ZERO, order);
if (!page)
return NULL;
bpage->page = page_address(page);
rb_init_page(bpage->page);
Add helper functions to make the code easier to read.
This does make all allocations of the data page (bpage->page) allocated
with the __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL flag (and not just the bulk allocator). Which
is actually better, as allocating the data page for the ring buffer tracing
should try hard but not trigger the OOM killer.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
