Subject: [PATCH] [openvz] printk: Handle global log buffer reallocation
Date: Sun, 17 Oct 2010 02:24:28 +0100

Currently an increase in log_buf_len results in disaster, as
ve0.log_buf is left pointing to the old log buffer.

Update ve0.log_buf when the global log buffer is reallocated. Also
acquire logbuf_lock before reading ve_log_buf_len, to avoid a race
with reallocation.
