Description

Currently BufferProvider#requestBufferBlocking method is only used for unit tests, so we could refactor the related tests to use methods of BufferProvider#requestBufferBuilderBlocking or BufferProvider#requestBuffer instead. Then we could remove this legacy method completely to clean up the interface.
