Subject[RFC PATCH v2 1/5] bpf: Make ring buffer overwritable.
Date
By default, BPF ring buffer are size bounded, when producers already filled the
buffer, they need to wait for the consumer to get those data before adding new
ones.
In terms of API, bpf_ringbuf_reserve() returns NULL if the buffer is full.

This patch permits making BPF ring buffer overwritable.
When producers already wrote as many data as the buffer size, they will begin to
over write existing data, so the oldest will be replaced.
As a result, bpf_ringbuf_reserve() never returns NULL.

To avoid memory consumption, this patch writes data backward like overwritable
perf ring buffer added in
commit 9ecda41acb97 ("perf/core: Add ::write_backward attribute to perf event").
