If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" commit b4875bbe7e68f139bd3383828ae8e994a0df6d28 upstream. When testing the fix for the trace filter, I could not come up with a scenario where the operand count goes below zero, so I added a WARN_ON_ONCE(cnt < 0) to the logic. But there is legitimate case that it can happen (although the filter would be wrong). # echo '>' > /sys/kernel/debug/events/ext4/ext4_truncate_exit/filter That is, a single operation without any operands will hit the path where the WARN_ON_ONCE() can trigger. Although this is harmless, and the filter is reported as a error. But instead of spitting out a warning to the kernel dmesg, just fail nicely and report it via the proper channels.
