From d55cb6cf143ae16eaa415baab520b8eaf4a1012f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2012 21:31:10 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: Allow stealing pages from pipe buffer Use generic steal operation on pipe buffer to allow stealing ring buffer's read page from pipe buffer. Note that this could reduce the performance of splice on the splice_write side operation without affinity setting. Since the ring buffer's read pages are allocated on the tracing-node, but the splice user does not always execute splice write side operation on the same node. In this case, the page will be accessed from the another node. Thus, it is strongly recommended to assign the splicing thread to corresponding node.
