[PATCH 1/2] ring-buffer: remove complex calculations in ring-buffer-test

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Thu May 07 2009 - 12:23:20 EST


From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@xxxxxxxxxx>

Ingo Molnar thought that the code to calculate the time in cond_resched
is a bit too ugly and is not needed. This patch removes it and replaces
it with a simple call to cond_resched. I kept the comment that explains
the reason for the cond_resched.

[ Impact: remove ugly code ]
