commit b049525855fdd0024881c9b14b8fbec61c3f53d3 upstream. For the ring buffer iterator (non-consuming read), the event needs to be copied into the iterator buffer to make sure that a writer does not overwrite it while the user is reading it. If a write happens during the copy, the buffer is simply discarded. But the temp buffer itself was not big enough. The allocation of the buffer was only BUF_MAX_DATA_SIZE, which is the maximum data size that can be passed into the ring buffer and saved. But the temp buffer needs to hold the meta data as well. That would be BUF_PAGE_SIZE and not BUF_MAX_DATA_SIZE.

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.
