Subject[BUG] ftrace: Boost asio does not play well with trace_pipe
Hi,
I'm trying to build an application that reads from the ftrace trace
pipes at the debug fs.
I came across an interesting issue,
it seems that when trying to read asynchronously from trace_pipe or
trace_pipe_raw using boost::asio API, the events waiting in pipe being
processed but new events are not reported to boost handlers and the
async read is never called for new events.

I verified the piece of code below works well with manually created
pipes (using mkfifo) but not working with trace_pipe or
trace_pipe_raw.

I would appreciate your opinions on this issue.
Please personally CC me in any answer/comment you post in response to
this issue.

Thanks,
Gal Kaplan
