Subject: [rtla 07/13] rtla: Introduce timerlat_restart() helper
Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2025 15:41:14 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251117184409.42831-8-wander@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251117184409.42831-1-wander@redhat.com>
The timerlat_hist and timerlat_top commands duplicate the logic for
handling threshold actions. When a threshold is reached, both commands
stop the trace, perform actions, and restart the trace if configured to
continue.
Create a new helper function, timerlat_restart(), to centralize this
shared logic and avoid code duplication. This function now handles the
threshold actions and restarts the necessary trace instances.
Refactor timerlat_hist_main() and the timerlat_top main loops to call
the new helper. This makes the code cleaner and more maintainable.
