In order to have the iterator read the buffer even when it's still updating, it requires that the ring buffer iterator saves each event in a separate location outside the ring buffer such that its use is immutable. There's one use case that saves off the event returned from the ring buffer interator and calls it again to look at the next event, before going back to use the first event. As the ring buffer iterator will only have a single copy, this use case will no longer be supported. Instead, have the one use case create its own buffer to store the first event when looking at the next event. This way, when looking at the first event again, it wont be corrupted by the second read.

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 Restructured Text 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.
