Subject: [for-next][PATCH 4/4] tracing: Remove mock up poll wait function
Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2014 08:41:57 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140430124231.452570718@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140430124153.334527053@goodmis.org>

[-- Attachment #1: 0004-tracing-Remove-mock-up-poll-wait-function.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 6872 bytes --]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Now that the ring buffer has a built in way to wake up readers
when there's data, using irq_work such that it is safe to do it
in any context. But it was still using the old "poor man's"
wait polling that checks every 1/10 of a second to see if it
should wake up a waiter. This makes the latency for a wake up
excruciatingly long. No need to do that anymore.

Completely remove the different wait_poll types from the tracers
and have them all use the default one now.
