DESCRIPTION¶

The buf_ring_alloc() function is used to allocate a buf_ring ring buffer with count slots using malloc_type type and memory flags flags. The single consumer interface is protected by sc_lock.

The buf_ring_free() function is used to free a buf_ring. The user is responsible for freeing any enqueued items.

The buf_ring_enqueue() function is used to enqueue a buffer to a buf_ring.

The buf_ring_dequeue_mc() function is a multi-consumer safe way of dequeueing elements from a buf_ring.

The buf_ring_dequeue_sc() function is a single-consumer interface to dequeue elements - requiring the user to serialize accesses with a lock.

The buf_ring_count() function returns the number of elements in a buf_ring.

The buf_ring_empty() function returns TRUE if the buf_ring is empty, FALSE otherwise.

The buf_ring_full() function returns TRUE if no more items can be enqueued, FALSE otherwise.

The buf_ring_peek() function returns a pointer to the last element in the buf_ring if the buf_ring is not empty, NULL otherwise.
