Subject: [PATCH 2/2] tracing: Fix missing function_graph events when we splice_read from trace_pipe
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2009 23:55:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1248818134-5231-3-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1248818134-5231-1-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com>

From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>

About a half events are missing when we splice_read
from trace_pipe. They are unexpectedly consumed because we ignore
the TRACE_TYPE_NO_CONSUME return value used by the function graph
tracer when it needs to consume the events by itself to walk on
the ring buffer.

The same problem appears with ftrace_dump()

Example of an output before this patch:

1)               |      ktime_get_real() {
1)   2.846 us    |          read_hpet();
1)   4.558 us    |        }
1)   6.195 us    |      }

After this patch:

0)               |      ktime_get_real() {
0)               |        getnstimeofday() {
0)   1.960 us    |          read_hpet();
0)   3.597 us    |        }
0)   5.196 us    |      }

The fix also applies on 2.6.30
