So far so good it seems, I have been doing some of the integration tests and all seems well.

I have not had time to do any patching myself because I am trying to keep up with the stream
Of patches coming in :)

I tried to change the RingBuffer too but I did not know
which API I should use.
The ring buffer in kernel/trace seems fine but it has some
dedicated features.

Any hint?
Of which infrastructure are you thinking in your previous mail?

Nicolas,

I was getting into the RingBuffer as well. Do you want to combine efforts?

I was thinking of include/linux/ring_buffer.h

Does that not work for you?

It is perfect.

As its implementation is in kernel/trace and not in lib as scatterlist,
I just wanted to be sure before spending time on a patch. :)
