From 9d52727f8043cfda241ae96896628d92fa9c50bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" rostedt@goodmis.org Date: Tue, 4 Apr 2023 22:21:14 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Have tracing_snapshot_instance_cond() write errors to the appropriate instance

If a trace instance has a failure with its snapshot code, the error message is to be written to that instance's buffer. But currently, the message is written to the top level buffer. Worse yet, it may also disable the top level buffer and not the instance that had the issue.
