From: Steven Rostedt The original ring-buffer code had special checks at the start of rb_advance_iter() and instead of repeating them again at the end of the function if a certain condition existed, I just did a recursive call to rb_advance_iter() because the special condition would cause rb_advance_iter() to return early (after the checks). But as things have changed, the special checks no longer exist and the only thing done for the special_condition is to call rb_inc_iter() and return. Instead of doing a confusing recursive call, just call rb_inc_iter instead.
