Subject[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 114/185] tracing/filter: Do not WARN on operand count going below zero
Date
3.16.7-ckt15 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

commit b4875bbe7e68f139bd3383828ae8e994a0df6d28 upstream.

When testing the fix for the trace filter, I could not come up with
a scenario where the operand count goes below zero, so I added a
WARN_ON_ONCE(cnt < 0) to the logic. But there is legitimate case
that it can happen (although the filter would be wrong).

# echo '>' > /sys/kernel/debug/events/ext4/ext4_truncate_exit/filter

That is, a single operation without any operands will hit the path
where the WARN_ON_ONCE() can trigger. Although this is harmless,
and the filter is reported as a error. But instead of spitting out
a warning to the kernel dmesg, just fail nicely and report it via
the proper channels.
