From 70004986ffdf36d8bc787403af2571aeeef96595 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2015 15:15:19 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ring-buffer: Remove redundant update of page timestamp The first commit of a buffer page updates the timestamp of that page. No need to have the update to the next page add the timestamp too. It will only be replaced by the first commit on that page anyway. Only update to a page if it contains an event.
