Hi All, For those who are interested, the first patches have emerged from the effort to unify the various kernel ring buffer implementations. http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/7/9/368 I kept out of the original discussion as it was very tracing heavy, but the results look promising. At the moment some elements require some arch specific code that is only in place for x84 and x86_64 but I'd imagine that will change very soon. For that matter what is needed isn't that complex, so should be easy enough to add for other archs. This might well be a good alternative to ring_sw for many applications. Looks very simple to use for equivalent of the kfifo approach posted here previously. Hence we loose the ring status events but gain a better and more flexible implementation. Also it removes a big controversial chunk of IIO code that should make a move out of staging simpler. Minimum size is 2 pages, (typically 8k).
