[$] A generic ring buffer for the kernel
Thursday June 6, 2024. 06:05 PM , from LWN.net
The kernel's user-space ABI does not lack for ring buffers; they have been
defined for subsystems like BPF, io_uring, perf, and tracing, for example. Naturally, each of those ring buffers is unique, with no common interface between them. The natural response to this ABI proliferation is, of course, to add yet another ring buffer as the generic option; that is the intent of this patch series from Kent Overstreet adding a new set of system calls for ring buffers.
