From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" The check that tests if ftrace_trace_arrays is empty in top_trace_array(), uses the .prev pointer: if (list_empty(ftrace_trace_arrays.prev)) instead of testing the variable itself: if (list_empty(&ftrace_trace_arrays)) Although it is technically correct, it is awkward and confusing. Use the proper method.
