There is no change in logic: there only are a constant number of rings,
and there also already is a BUILD_BUG_ON that checks if that constant
goes over 9 as anything bigger would no longer fit the event-channel-%d
destination size.
In theory having that size as part of the struct means it could be
modified by another thread and makes the compiler lose track of possible
values for 'i' here, using the constant directly here makes it work.

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 Restructured Text 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.
