Subject: [PATCH v3 04/18] rtla: Introduce common_threshold_handler() helper
Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2026 13:31:47 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260115163650.118910-5-wander@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260115163650.118910-1-wander@redhat.com>

Several functions duplicate the logic for handling threshold actions.
When a threshold is reached, these functions stop the trace, perform
configured actions, and restart the trace if --on-threshold continue
is set.

Create common_threshold_handler() to centralize this shared logic and
avoid code duplication. The function executes the configured threshold
actions and restarts the necessary trace instances when appropriate.

Also add should_continue_tracing() helper to encapsulate the check
for whether tracing should continue after a threshold event, improving
code readability at call sites.

In timerlat_top_bpf_main_loop(), use common_params directly instead
of casting through timerlat_params when only common fields are needed.
