The patch is committed in printk/linux.git, branch printk-rework.

I plan to send it for-5.11 the following week after it spends
few days in linux-next.

[PATCH] printk: fix kmsg_dump_get_buffer length calulations

[John Ogness]

kmsg_dump_get_buffer() uses @syslog to determine if the syslog
prefix should be written to the buffer. However, when calculating
the maximum number of records that can fit into the buffer, it
always counts the bytes from the syslog prefix.

Use @syslog when calculating the maximum number of records that can
fit into the buffer.

Fixes: e2ae715d66bf ("kmsg - kmsg_dump() use iterator to receive log buffer 
content")
