[PATCH 1/1] trace: Move readpos from seq_buf to trace_seq

From: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)
Date: Thu Oct 19 2023 - 17:41:37 EST


To make seq_buf more lightweight as a string buf, move the readpos member
from seq_buf to its container, trace_seq. That puts the responsibility
of maintaining the readpos entirely in the tracing code. If some future
users want to package up the readpos with a seq_buf, we can define a
new struct then.
