From dd4adb986a86727ed8f56c48b6d0695f1e211e65 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2025 12:27:24 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] selftests/tracing: Run sample events to clear page cache events The tracing selftest "event-filter-function.tc" was failing because it first runs the "sample_events" function that triggers the kmem_cache_free event and it looks at what function was used during a call to "ls". But the first time it calls this, it could trigger events that are used to pull pages into the page cache. The rest of the test uses the function it finds during that call to see if it will be called in subsequent "sample_events" calls. But if there's no need to pull pages into the page cache, it will not trigger that function and the test will fail. Call the "sample_events" twice to trigger all the page cache work before it calls it to find a function to use in subsequent checks.
