Subject: [PATCH 1/4] tracing/ftrace: Fixes unexpected -EINVAL when longest tracer name is set
Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2008 05:53:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <491FA73F.9080401@gmail.com> (raw)
Impact: Corrects return value from tracing_set_trace_write
The following commit d9e540762f5cdd89f24e518ad1fd31142d0b9726 remade
alive the bug which made the set of a new tracer returning -EINVAL if
this is the longest name of tracer.
This patch corrects it.
