From cf30cf67d6c7592c670ec946d89fc15ee0deb0eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2011 22:44:07 -0400 Subject: tracing: Add disable_on_free option Add a trace option to disable tracing on free. When this option is set, a write into the free_buffer file will not only shrink the ring buffer down to zero, but it will also disable tracing.
