[PATCH 3/5] ring-buffer: Check for end of page in iterator

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Tue Jan 26 2010 - 17:17:50 EST


From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@xxxxxxxxxx>

If the iterator comes to an empty page for some reason, or if
the page is emptied by a consuming read. The iterator code currently
does not check if the iterator is pass the contents, and may
return a false entry.

This patch adds a check to the ring buffer iterator to test if the
current page has been completely read and sets the iterator to the
next page if necessary.
