Here's the latest version of your patch ;-) -- Steve >From d39cdd2036a63eef17a14efbd969405ca5612886 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chunyu Hu <ch...@redhat.com> Date: Tue, 8 Mar 2016 21:37:01 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Make tracer_flags use the right set_flag callback When I was updating the ftrace_stress test of ltp. I encountered a strange phenomemon, excute following steps: echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/funcgraph-cpu bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument check dmesg: [ 1024.903855] nop_test_refuse flag set to 0: we refuse.Now cat trace_options to see the result The reason is that the trace option test will randomly setup trace option under tracing/options no matter what the current_tracer is. but the set_tracer_option is always using the set_flag callback from the current_tracer. This patch adds a pointer to tracer_flags and make it point to the tracer it belongs to. When the option is setup, the set_flag of the right tracer will be used no matter what the the current_tracer is. And the old dummy_tracer_flags is used for all the tracers which doesn't have a tracer_flags, having issue to use it to save the pointer of a tracer. So remove it and use dynamic dummy tracer_flags for tracers needing a dummy tracer_flags, as a result, there are no tracers sharing tracer_flags, so remove the check code. And save the current tracer to trace_option_dentry seems not good as it may waste mem space when mount the debug/trace fs more than one time.
