From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> The trace_mmap() checks if the mmapped data has any previously read data (the reader.read value of the meta page is non-zero), then it will pre-read the kbuf to move its internal reader pointer to the same value. But when tracefs_cpu_read_buf() calls trace_mmap_load_subbuf(), its kbuf->subbuffer will not be the same as the mapped data and kbuffer_load_subbuffer() is called on it and it is returned. But that means its read pointer has not been updated, and the read data will restart again. When the kbuf is updated in trace_mmap_load_subbuf() check the tmap->kbuf to see if it already read any of the data, and move the kbuffer forward just like the trace_mmap() does.
