From 77c0eddeeeee14bf0fb0c0bb97e782981bbcf084 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" Date: Wed, 3 May 2017 11:41:44 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: Simplify ftrace_match_record() even more 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.
