Re: [PATCH] ring-buffer: Preserve true payload lengths in long data events

[Cao Ruichuang]

Thanks for the clarification.

I understand the design boundary now: the ring buffer metadata is
supposed to describe the allocated record size, not the requested
payload size. Given that, I will stop pushing this ring-buffer
approach.

If there is a valid fix here, it should be done at the event layer
for the users that need the true payload length, not in the generic
ring buffer code.

Thanks,
Cao Ruichuang
