Subject: [PATCH] tracing: move static old_tracer to trace_iterator
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2010 15:28:13 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B5E998D.9070603@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)


static old_tracer is global for all processes.

So there is a potential bug when:
current_trace and static old_tracer are changed by other processes,
current_trace and static old_tracer are match with each other.
but *iter->trace and *current_trace are not match.

This patch move old_tracer to trace_iterator, and make it not global.
