From: Steven Rostedt 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.
