Subject: [GIT PULL] ring-buffer: Updates for 5.10

Linus,

ring-buffer fix:

The success return value of ring_buffer_resize() is stated to be zero,
and checked that way. But it is incorrectly returning the size allocated.

Also, a fix to a comment.


Please pull the latest trace-v5.10-3 tree, which can be found at:


  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace.git
trace-v5.10-3

Head SHA1: e1981f75d398c0afe83c8ffa4e5864f037967409


Qiujun Huang (2):
      ring-buffer: Return 0 on success from ring_buffer_resize()
      ring-buffer: Update the description for ring_buffer_wait
