From: Sven Schnelle <svens@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> trace_printk schedules work via irq_work_queue(), but doesn't wait until it was processed. The kprobe_module.tc testcase does: :;: "Load module again, which means the event1 should be recorded";: modprobe trace-printk grep "event1:" trace so the grep which checks the trace file might run before the irq work was processed. Fix this by adding a irq_work_sync().
