+  buffer_subbuf_size_kb:
+
+	This sets or displays the sub buffer size. The ring buffer is broken up
+	into several same size "sub buffers". An event can not be bigger than
+	the size of the sub buffer. Normally, the sub buffer is the size of the
+	architecture's page (4K on x86). The sub buffer also contains meta data
+	at the start which also limits the size of an event.  That means when
+	the sub buffer is a page size, no event can be larger than the page
+	size minus the sub buffer meta data.
+
+	Note, the buffer_subbuf_size_kb is a way for the user to specify the
+	minimum size of the subbuffer. The kernel may make it bigger due to the
+	implementation details, or simply fail the operation if the kernel can
+	not handle the request.
+
+	Changing the sub buffer size allows for events to be larger than the
+	page size.
+
+	Note: When changing the sub-buffer size, tracing is stopped and any
+	data in the ring buffer and the snapshot buffer will be discarded.

- *
- *  - A write followed by a read of the same time stamp will always succeed,
