From 153368ce1bd0ccb47812a3185e824445a7024ea5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2020 17:32:29 -0400 Subject: ring-buffer: Optimize rb_iter_head_event() As it is fine to perform several "peeks" of event data in the ring buffer via the iterator before moving it forward, do not re-read the event, just return what was read before. Otherwise, it can cause inconsistent results, especially when testing multiple CPU buffers to interleave them.
