From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> If the reader sub-buffer gets more data on it due to a writer still on the reader sub-buffer, just updating the kbuf is not enough. An ioctl() needs to be called again to update the "read" pointer, otherwise after reading the full reader sub-buffer and calling the next ioctl(), the kernel will not swap out for a new reader sub-buffer as it still thinks there's more to be read.
