Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: fix updating of ftrace_update_cnt
Date: Sun, 25 May 2008 00:10:04 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <48386104.6020109@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi Ingo/Steven,
Ftrace currently maintains an update count which includes false updates, i.e, updates which failed. If anything, such failures should be tracked by some separate variable, but this patch provides a minimal fix.
