The second loop of syslog_print_all() subtracts lengths that were added in the first loop. With commitb031a684bf("printk: remove logbuf_lock writer-protection of ringbuffer") it is possible that records are (over)written during syslog_print_all(). This allows the possibility of the second loop subtracting lengths that were never added in the first loop. This situation can result in syslog_print_all() filling the buffer starting from a later record, even though there may have been room to fit the earlier record(s) as well.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
