Have the ring_buffer_iter structure contain a page_stamp, such that it can be used to see if the writer entered the page the iterator is on. When going to a new page, the iterator will record the time stamp of that page. When reading events, it can copy the event to an internal buffer on the iterator (to be implemented later), then check the page's time stamp with its own to see if the writer entered the page. If so, it will need to try to read the event again. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200317213416.163549674@goodmis.org Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
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.
