From 2711ca237a084286ea1c2dcf82ab2aadab23a00d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Fri, 21 May 2010 13:32:26 -0400 Subject: ring-buffer: Move zeroing out excess in page to ring buffer code Currently the trace splice code zeros out the excess bytes in the page before sending it off to userspace. This is to make sure userspace is not getting anything it should not be when reading the pages, because the excess data was never initialized to zero before writing (for perfomance reasons). But the splice code has no business in doing this work, it should be done by the ring buffer. With the latest changes for recording lost events, the splice code gets it wrong anyway. Move the zeroing out of excess bytes into the ring buffer code.
