    pstore/ram: Fix possible NULL dereference · a384f641
    Anton Vorontsov 提交于
    We can dereference 'cxt->cprz' if console and dump logging are disabled
    (which is unlikely, but still possible to do). This patch fixes the issue
    by changing the code so that we don't dereference przs at all, we can
    just calculate bufsize from console_size and record_size values.
    
    Plus, while at it, the patch improves the buffer size calculation.
    
    After Kay's printk rework, we know the optimal buffer size for console
    logging -- it is LOG_LINE_MAX (defined privately in printk.c). Previously,
    if only console logging was enabled, we would allocate unnecessary large
    buffer in pstore, while we only need LOG_LINE_MAX. (Pstore console logging
    is still capable of handling buffers > LOG_LINE_MAX, it will just do
    multiple calls to psinfo->write).
    
    Note that I don't export the constant, since we will do even a better
    thing soon: we will switch console logging to a new write_buf API, which
    will eliminate the need for the additional buffer; and so we won't need
    the constant.
