Yes I agree, and luckily it hasn't been called out as an issue. Note, I hit
this because I extended the trace_marker buffer before increasing the
trace_seq size. Otherwise, the trace_marker just breaks it up. This can now
only be triggered by internal changes.

Agreed, but I don't have time to do that (I already spent way too much time
on this than I had allocated). I decided to just do what the trace_pipe
currently does, and leave "print partial line" to another day when I can
allocate time on this.

Hmm, this could be added to the "TODO" list that was talked about in
ksummit-discuss.
