That's what I originally did, and is what I was referring to when I
mentioned the bit of 'trickiness' here. ;-)
The problem is that the trace_recursive_lock() check in
ring_buffer_lock_reserve() prevents a trigger that itself logs to the
ring buffer from reserving a slot in the buffer, since it's being done
from the same context as the triggering event. For example, the
stacktrace trigger, which calls trace_dump_stack().
So the code is a bit more convoluted than I'd like because of that -
since we can't really invoke the triggers before the current event is
committed, it waits until the current event is either discarded (because
we're soft disabled) or committed (logging a normally-enabled event).
But you do point out a real problem with this - it means having to look
at a discarded event in the soft-disabled case, and if for example some
interrupt actually reserves and logs an event between the time we do the
discard and invoke the filter, we could end up with a false filtering
outcome. I'm not sure how to prevent that though at this point - will
have think about it some more...
