Merge branch 'add libbpf getters for individual ringbuffers'
Martin Kelly says:
====================
This patch series adds a new ring__ API to libbpf exposing getters for
accessing the individual ringbuffers inside a struct ring_buffer. This is
useful for polling individually, getting available data, or similar use
cases. The API looks like this, and was roughly proposed by Andrii Nakryiko
in another thread:
Getting a ring struct:
struct ring *ring_buffer__ring(struct ring_buffer *rb, unsigned int idx);
Using the ring struct:
unsigned long ring__consumer_pos(const struct ring *r);
unsigned long ring__producer_pos(const struct ring *r);
size_t ring__avail_data_size(const struct ring *r);
size_t ring__size(const struct ring *r);
int ring__map_fd(const struct ring *r);
int ring__consume(struct ring *r);
Changes in v2:
- Addressed all feedback from Andrii Nakryiko
