Re: [PATCH] sctp: do trace_sctp_probe after SACK validation and check

[kevin kou <qdkevin.kou@gmail.com>]

As this trace used to trace the changes of SCTP association state in response to incoming packets(SACK). It is used for debugging SCTP congestion control algorithms, so according to the code in include/trace/events/sctp.h, this trace event only prints the below information, and seems it is hard to point out if the SACK is duplicate one. 



TP_printk("asoc=%#llx%s ipaddr=%pISpc state=%u cwnd=%u ssthresh=%u " "flight_size=%u partial_bytes_acked=%u pathmtu=%u", __entry->asoc, __entry->primary ? "(*)" : "", __entry->ipaddr, __entry->state, __entry->cwnd, __entry->ssthresh, __entry->flight_size, __entry->partial_bytes_acked, __entry->pathmtu)
