From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <[email protected]> The function rb_reserved_next_event() is called by two functions: ring_buffer_lock_reserve() and ring_buffer_write(). This is in a very hot path of the tracing code, and it is best that they are not functions. The two callers are basically wrapers for rb_reserver_next_event(). Removing the function calls can save execution time in the hotpath of tracing.
