Dan Carpenter sent a patch to remove a check in ftrace_match_record() because the logic of the code made the check redundant. I looked deeper into the code, and made the following logic table, with the three variables and the result of the original code. modname mod_matches exclude_mod result ------- ----------- ----------- ------ 0 0 0 return 0 0 0 1 func_match 0 1 * < cannot exist > 1 0 0 return 0 1 0 1 func_match 1 1 0 func_match 1 1 1 return 0 Notice that when mod_matches == exclude mod, the result is always to return 0, and when mod_matches != exclude_mod, then the result is to test the function. This means we only need test if mod_matches is equal to exclude_mod. Cc: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
