Re: [PATCH v2 tracing 3/6] tracing: support IPv6 filter predicates

BTW, the subjects for the tracing subsystem should always start with a
capital letter.

  "tracing: Support IPv6 filter predicates"

But that's not why I'm replying here.

There appears to be no limit to the above loop. I panic'd my machine with:

 # echo 'saddr_v6 == 0123:4567:89ab:cdef:0123:4567:89ab:cdef:0123:4567:89ab:cdef:0123:4567:89ab:cdef:0123:4567:89ab:cdef:0123:4567:89ab:cdef:0123:4567:89ab:cdef:0123:4567:89ab:cdef' > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sock/inet_sk_error_report/filter
