aya: perf_buffer: call BytesMut::reserve() internally
This changes PerfBuffer::read_events() to call BytesMut::reserve()
internally, and deprecates PerfBufferError::MoreSpaceNeeded.
This makes for a more ergonomic API, and allows for a more idiomatic
usage of BytesMut. For example consider:
let mut buffers = vec![BytesMut::with_capacity(N), ...];
loop {
let events = oob_cpu_buf.read_events(&mut buffers).unwrap();
for buf in &mut buffers[..events.read] {
let sub: Bytes = buf.split_off(n).into();
process_sub_buf(sub);
}
...
}
This is a common way to process perf bufs, where a sub buffer is split
off from the original buffer and then processed. In the next iteration
of the loop when it's time to read again, two things can happen:
- if processing of the sub buffer is complete and `sub` has been
dropped, read_events() will call buf.reserve(sample_size) and hit a fast
path in BytesMut that will just restore the original capacity of the
buffer (assuming sample_size <= N).
- if processing of the sub buffer hasn't ended (eg the buffer has been
stored or is being processed in another thread),
buf.reserve(sample_size) will actually allocate the new memory required
to read the sample.
In other words, calling buf.reserve(sample_size) inside read_events()
simplifies doing zero-copy processing of buffers in many cases.
