Subject: [PATCH 1/3] tracing: Erase irqsoff trace with empty write
Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2017 09:29:39 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170920133012.763216723@goodmis.org> (raw)

From: Bo Yan <byan@nvidia.com>

One convenient way to erase trace is "echo > trace". However, this
is currently broken if the current tracer is irqsoff tracer. This
is because irqsoff tracer use max_buffer as the default trace
buffer.

Set the max_buffer as the one to be cleared when it's the trace
buffer currently in use.
