[-- Attachment #1: lttng-relay-alloc.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 27395 bytes --]

As I told Martin, I was thinking about taking an axe and moving stuff around in
relay. Which I just did.

This patch reimplements relay with a linked list of pages. Provides read/write
wrappers which should be used to read or write from the buffers. It's the core
of a layered approach to the design requirements expressed by Martin and
discussed earlier.

It does not provide _any_ sort of locking on buffer data. Locking should be done
by the caller. Given that we might think of very lightweight locking schemes, it
makes sense to me that the underlying buffering infrastructure supports event
records larger than 1 page.

A cache saving 4 pointers is used to keep track of current page used for the
buffer for write, current page read and two contiguous subbuffer header pointer
lookup. The offset of each page within the buffer is saved in a structure
containing the offset, linked list and page frame pointer to permit cache lookup
without extra locking.

The offset and linked list are not placed in the page frame itself to allow
using the pages directly for disk I/O, network I/O or to mmap it to userspace
for live processing.

Write and header address lookup tested through LTTng. This patch contains
self-test code which detects if a client is actually trying to use the
read/write/get header address API to do random buffer offset access. If such
behavior is detected, a warning message is issued and the random access is done
as requested.

TODO : Currently, no splice file operations are implemented. Should come soon.
The idea is to splice the buffers directly into files or to the network.
We have to make sure the page frame fields used are not used by disk I/O or
network.
