From 20d8b67c06fa5e74f44e80b0a0fd68c8327f7c6a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eduard - Gabriel Munteanu Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2008 19:45:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] relay: add buffer-only channels; useful for early logging Allows one to create and use a channel with no associated files. Files can be initialized later. This is useful in scenarios such as logging in early code, before VFS is up. Therefore, such channels can be created and used as soon as kmem_cache_init() completed. This is needed by kmemtrace to do tracing in early kernel code.
