Currently, when a module event is enabled, when that module is removed, it clears all ring buffers. This is to prevent another module from being loaded and having one of its trace event IDs from reusing a trace event ID of the removed module. This could cause undesirable effects as the trace event of the new module would be using its own processing algorithms to process raw data of another event. To prevent this, when a module is loaded, if any of its events have been used (signified by the WAS_ENABLED event call flag, which is never cleared), all ring buffers are cleared, just in case any one of them contains event data of the removed event. The problem is, there's no reason to clear all ring buffers if only one (or less than all of them) uses one of the events. Instead, only clear the ring buffers that recorded the events of a module that is being removed. To do this, instead of keeping the WAS_ENABLED flag with the trace event call, move it to the per instance (per ring buffer) event file descriptor. The event file descriptor maps each event to a separate ring buffer instance. Then when the module is removed, only the ring buffers that activated one of the module's events get cleared. The rest are not touched. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org> |
