From 771e03842a9e98a1c2013ca1ed8bb2793488f3e5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2012 10:41:57 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ring-buffer: Remove unnecessary recusive call in rb_advance_iter() The original ring-buffer code had special checks at the start of rb_advance_iter() and instead of repeating them again at the end of the function if a certain condition existed, I just did a recursive call to rb_advance_iter() because the special condition would cause rb_advance_iter() to return early (after the checks). But as things have changed, the special checks no longer exist and the only thing done for the special_condition is to call rb_inc_iter() and return. Instead of doing a confusing recursive call, just call rb_inc_iter instead.
