From 1b959e18c4d6b4b981f887260b0f8e7939efa411 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2009 10:12:13 -0400 Subject: ring-buffer: remove unnecessary cpu_relax The loops in the ring buffer that use cpu_relax are not dependent on other CPUs. They simply came across some padding in the ring buffer and are skipping over them. It is a normal loop and does not require a cpu_relax.
