When is cur_alloc_size decremented?

$ git checkout remotes/jolsa/perf/core_ordered_events

$ egrep -r cur_alloc_size tools/perf/
tools/perf//util/ordered-events.c:	} else if (q->cur_alloc_size < 
q->max_alloc_size) {
tools/perf//util/ordered-events.c:		   q->cur_alloc_size, 
q->max_alloc_size);
tools/perf//util/ordered-events.c:		q->cur_alloc_size += size;
tools/perf//util/ordered-events.c:	q->cur_alloc_size = 0;
tools/perf//util/ordered-events.h:	u64			cur_alloc_size;

Does not appear to ever be decremented.
