Subject: [QUESTION] trace_function_graph: consumed event may be invalid


In get_return_for_leaf() {
	......
	ring_buffer_consume()
	......
	access to @curr->ent.pid
}

@curr is saved at consumed event, if this event is the last event
in the page, the ring_buffer may reuse the page. It will become invalid.

Is there any other code to ensure it valid when we `cat trace_pipe`?

Lai.
