Regarding the proposed name, "tcp_ca_event_set"... including "set" in
the name is confusing, since the tcp_ca_event() function is not really
setting anything. :-)
The trace_tcp_cong_state_set() call you are using as a model has "set"
in the name because the function it is tracing, tcp_set_ca_state(),
has "set" in the name. :-)
Would it work to use something like:
TRACE_EVENT(tcp_ca_event,
thanks,
