[PATCH v2 1/2] ring-buffer: Clean up resize_disabled checks
From: Vincent Donnefort
Date: Wed Sep 16 2026 - 12:12:26 EST
ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() checks for resize_disabled twice under
the same buffer->mutex hold. Moreover, this check duplicates the logic
in ring_buffer_resize(). Create a common helper rb_resize_disabled() to
factor out this code.
