From 7c088b5120ffef017e2ddc38f992277e96436ef6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" Date: Thu, 9 May 2013 11:35:12 -0400 Subject: ftrace: Have ftrace_regex_write() return either read or error As ftrace_regex_write() reads the result of ftrace_process_regex() which can sometimes return a positive number, only consider a failure if the return is negative. Otherwise, it will skip possible other registered probes and by returning a positive number that wasn't read, it will confuse the user processes doing the writing.
