From 2489e958129ff7cbf26a34ee33cdc9ccbd68fe3c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Xing Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2025 14:11:57 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] relayfs: abolish prev_padding Patch series "relayfs: misc changes", v5. The series mostly focuses on the error counters which helps every user debug their own kernel module. This patch (of 5): prev_padding represents the unused space of certain subbuffer. If the content of a call of relay_write() exceeds the limit of the remainder of this subbuffer, it will skip storing in the rest space and record the start point as buf->prev_padding in relay_switch_subbuf(). Since the buf is a per-cpu big buffer, the point of prev_padding as a global value for the whole buffer instead of a single subbuffer (whose padding info is stored in buf->padding[]) seems meaningless from the real use cases, so we don't bother to record it any more.
