From e2ab28521a588785c3e053098ffe607b5ff54634 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathieu Poirier Date: Fri, 25 May 2018 17:10:54 -0600 Subject: perf cs-etm: Fix indexing for decoder packet queue The tail of a queue is supposed to be pointing to the next available slot in a queue. In this implementation the tail is incremented before it is used and as such points to the last used element, something that has the immense advantage of centralizing tail management at a single location and eliminating a lot of redundant code. But this needs to be taken into consideration on the dequeueing side where the head also needs to be incremented before it is used, or the first available element of the queue will be skipped.
