| |
From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>
When filtering trace events, a temp buffer is used because the extra copy from the temp buffer into the ring buffer is still faster than the direct write into the ring buffer followed by a discard if the filter does not match.
But the data that can be stored in the temp buffer is a PAGE_SIZE minus the ring buffer event header. The calculation of that header size is complex, but using the helper macro "struct_size()" can simplify it.
