Jason Xing 2489e95812 relayfs: abolish prev_padding
Patch series "relayfs: misc changes", v5.

The series mostly focuses on the error counters which helps every user
debug their own kernel module.


This patch (of 5):

prev_padding represents the unused space of certain subbuffer.  If the
content of a call of relay_write() exceeds the limit of the remainder of
this subbuffer, it will skip storing in the rest space and record the
start point as buf->prev_padding in relay_switch_subbuf().  Since the buf
is a per-cpu big buffer, the point of prev_padding as a global value for
the whole buffer instead of a single subbuffer (whose padding info is
stored in buf->padding[]) seems meaningless from the real use cases, so we
don't bother to record it any more.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
