Subject: [for-linus][PATCH] ring-buffer: Do not let subbuf be bigger than
 write mask

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@...dmis.org>

The data on the subbuffer is measured by a write variable that also
contains status flags. The counter is just 20 bits in length. If the
subbuffer is bigger than then counter, it will fail.

Make sure that the subbuffer can not be set to greater than the counter
that keeps track of the data on the subbuffer.
