From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rost...@goodmis.org> Running the ftrace selftests caused the ring buffer mapping test to fail. Investigating, I found that the snapshot counter would be incremented every time a snapshot trigger was added, even if that snapshot trigger failed.
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing # echo "snapshot" > events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger # echo "snapshot" > events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger -bash: echo: write error: File exists That second one that fails increments the snapshot counter but doesn't decrement it. It needs to be decremented when the snapshot fails.
