Subject: [for-next][PATCH 02/18] tracnig: Add proper error message for glob use with "within" filter
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 10:31:17 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261016143134.458842046@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261016143115.392980228@kernel.org>
From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
If a user were to use a glob expression with the "within" filter, it
currently just fails with an errno return but does not update the
error_log to tell the user why it failed. Update it to use the parsing
error log to tell the user why it failed.
# echo 'within ~ "*_read"' > events/kmem/kmem_cache_alloc/filter
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
# cat error_log
[ 4676.606481] event filter parse error: error: 'within' filter cannot take glob expressions
Command: within ~ "*_read"
