[PATCH 0/2] blktrace: fix trace buffer leak and limit trace buffer size

From: Ming Lei
Date: Tue Mar 23 2021 - 04:15:52 EST


blktrace may pass big trace buffer size via '-b', meantime the system
may have lots of CPU cores, so too much memory can be allocated for
blktrace.

The 1st patch shutdown bltrace in blkdev_close() in case of task
exiting, for avoiding trace buffer leak.

The 2nd patch limits max trace buffer size for avoiding potential
OOM.


Ming Lei (2):
block: shutdown blktrace in case of fatal signal pending
blktrace: limit allowed total trace buffer size
