The first case is the trace data stream might be zero at the end of the buffer; the second case is that the buffer is not really wrapped around at this time but the end of buffer contains the stale data by previous time. Could you confirm both cases will not happen? Will do more testing for this patch set. Thanks, Leo Yan > + > + if (wrapped) > + *old = *head - mm->len; > > return 0; > } > -- > 2.17.1 >

If it is equal of bigger, the head has wrapped around. >the second case is that the buffer is not really wrapped around > at this time but the end of buffer contains the stale data by previous > time. That would mean the snapshots were really close together. In that case we'd simply get the tail end of the previous snapshot, which is fine since it is was close enough that we do want that data. > > Could you confirm both cases will not happen? > > Will do more testing for this patch set. > > Thanks, > Leo Yan > > > + > > + if (wrapped) > > + *old = *head - mm->len; > > > > return 0; > > } > > -- > > 2.17.1 > >

In snapshot mode the value of the 'old' pointer needs to be adjusted when 'head' has wrapped around in order to get the latest information in the buffer and be compatible with the generic AUX ring buffer mechanic.
