    tracing: Allocate the snapshot buffer before enabling probe · df62db5b
    Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored
    Currently the snapshot trigger enables the probe and then allocates the
    snapshot. If the probe triggers before the allocation, it could cause the
    snapshot to fail and turn tracing off. It's best to allocate the snapshot
    buffer first, and then enable the trigger. If something goes wrong in the
    enabling of the trigger, the snapshot buffer is still allocated, but it can
    also be freed by the user by writting zero into the snapshot buffer file.
    
    Also add a check of the return status of alloc_snapshot().
