I'm more worried about the allocation not being big enough for the rb_desc being filled. I just noticed that the trace_remote_register() function is missing a kerneldoc header. Please add one and specify what the parameters are for as well as their requirements. It's fine to state that the allocation of desc must match what the cpumask is. But the lack of comments about what the function does and what is expected of the parameters makes it hard to know if it is performing properly.Ok, will do! I could also add a desc_size parameter to make sure we won't overflow the given desc?
I wonder if we should just to make sure things are checked. Having a bitmask determine the size is kinda strange. -- Steve
