Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 3/4] tracing: Do not stop recording comms if the trace file is being read
Date: Fri, 18 Jun 2021 09:20:49 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210618132125.986218910@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20210618132046.600413369@goodmis.org

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

A while ago, when the "trace" file was opened, tracing was stopped, and
code was added to stop recording the comms to saved_cmdlines, for mapping
of the pids to the task name.

Code has been added that only records the comm if a trace event occurred,
and there's no reason to not trace it if the trace file is opened.

Fixes: 7ffbd48d5cab2 ("tracing: Cache comms only after an event occurred")
