Yeah but after that it's not used anymore because this page
won't anymore be used as a reader page but will be integrated
as a writable ring buffer page.

One day it may be reused as a reader page still, but before
any use, rb_reset_reader_page() will be called to reset this offset.

So I just don't understand why you need to do that.
