it simply drops any data that does not fit into the buffer, which would be
fine
Patch below changes the interpretation of the 'Size' parm given when creating
a buffer from a
fixed length to a max limit. The buffers start out much smaller (currently
128k, instead of many
megabytes) and grow automatically when they become almost full. This way all
callers benefit,
and
vdr uses quite a lot of memory, RSS here used to be ~70M, so i decided to see
if it could be
reduced a bit. First suspects became the ringbuffers, cause i was seeing a lot
of log lines
such as buffer stats: 96068 (1%) used. Turns out many buffers are way over
sized, only a few
percent of the
