H A Dring_buffer.hdiff 8789a9e7df6bf9b93739c4c7d4e380725bc9e936 Tue Dec 02 14:34:07 CST 2008 Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> ring-buffer: read page interface

Impact: new API to ring buffer

This patch adds a new interface into the ring buffer that allows a
page to be read from the ring buffer on a given CPU. For every page
read, one must also be given to allow for a "swap" of the pages.

rpage = ring_buffer_alloc_read_page(buffer);
if (!rpage)
goto err;
ret = ring_buffer_read_page(buffer, &rpage, cpu, full);
if (!ret)
goto empty;
process_page(rpage);
ring_buffer_free_read_page(rpage);

The caller of these functions must handle any waits that are
needed to wait for new data. The ring_buffer_read_page will simply
return 0 if there is no data, or if "full" is set and the writer
is still on the current page.
