Subject: [PATCH 4/4] libtracefs: Propagate the return value of the callback function
Date: Tue,  8 Jun 2021 16:55:03 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210608135503.12135-4-y.karadz@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210608135503.12135-1-y.karadz@gmail.com>

Currently the return value of the callback function can be used to
stop pulling data from the trace buffer, however this return value
is lost and the user has no idea if tracefs_iterate_raw_events()
terminated because there was no more data or because this was
requested from the callback function. If we propagate the return
value of the callback, this can be used in cases like the one below:

int callback(struct tep_event *event, struct tep_record *record,
	     int cpu, void *py_func)
{
	....

	return (something) ? 0 : 1
}

int main()
{
	int ret;

	....

	while(ret == 0)
		ret = tracefs_iterate_raw_events(tep, instance,
		                                 NULL, 0,
		                                 callback, NULL);

	....

Here the user can effectively terminate the pulling the data
from inside the callback.
