Subject: [PATCH] tracing: fix invalid function_graph entry
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2009 20:11:24 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A6EEAEC.3050508@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)


print_graph_entry() consumes current event, if this event
is the last event in the page, the ring_buffer may reuse
the page. It will become invalid.
