Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 1/7] tracing: Fix logged instance name on creation failure
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 11:09:50 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260827151010.719796681@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260827150949.304280511@kernel.org>
From: Vincent Donnefort <vdonnefort@google.com>
When boot instance creation fails, the kernel incorrectly logs "(null)"
as the instance name because strsep() consumes curr_str entirely during
parsing.
Print the properly parsed name variable instead. And while at it log
the error code.
