tracing: Fix nr_subbufs initialization in simple_ring_buffer_init_mm() 2026-05-21T12:24:59+00:00 David Carlier devnexen@gmail.com 2026-05-12T13:54:20+00:00 c2d2856cf6c9efccdf5e0d2564162ec616ce58cf nr_subbufs in the ring buffer metadata is always initialized to zero because it is assigned from cpu_buffer->nr_pages before the page initialization loop has run. While nr_subbufs is not currently read by the kernel, it should reflect the actual buffer geometry in the meta page for correctness. Move the assignment after the page loop so that cpu_buffer->nr_pages holds the final count.
