Subject: Re: [PATCH v1 03/11] perf: Allow for multiple ring buffers per event

It's much nicer than the page swizzling draft I was about to send you.

Why do we need aux_{offset,size} at all, then? Userspace should know how
they mmap()ed it.

Fair enough.

True.

Can I take it over?

With PERF_RECORD_AUX carrying offset and size, we shouldn't need
aux_{head,tail} either, don't you think?

The data_{offset,size} seem to be only set by userspace too, maybe we
can do away with these altogether unless we want to allow for it to be a
sparse file?

..and simply do a

                pgoff = event->rb->nr_pages + 1;

?

This can instead call into the underlying driver, which will likely
maintain an array similar to data_pages[] anyway.
