ring_buffer: fix typing mistake
Impact: Fix bug I found several very very curious line. It's so curious that it may be brought by typing mistake. When (cpu_buffer->reader_page == cpu_buffer->commit_page): 1) We haven't copied it for bpage is changed: bpage = cpu_buffer->reader_page->page; memcpy(bpage->data, cpu_buffer->reader_page->page->data + read ... ) 2) We need update cpu_buffer->reader_page->read, but "cpu_buffer->reader_page += read;" is not right. [ This bug was a typo. The commit->reader_page is a page pointer and not an index into the page. The line should have been commit->reader_page->read += read. The other changes by Lai are nice clean ups to the code. - SDR ] Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
