Subject: [PATCH] ring-buffer: Remove stale comment from ring_buffer_size()
Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2023 08:10:28 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231220081028.7cd7e8e2@gandalf.local.home> (raw)

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

It's been 11 years since the ring_buffer_size() function was updated to
use the nr_pages from the buffer->buffers[cpu] structure instead of using
the buffer->nr_pages that no longer exists.

The comment in the code is more of what a change log should have and is
pretty much useless for development. It's saying how things worked back in
2012 that bares no purpose on today's code. Remove it.
