From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" The creation of the set_event_pid file was assigned to a variable "entry" but that variable was never used. Ideally, it should be used to check if the file was created and warn if it was not. The files header_page, header_event should also be checked and a warning if they fail to be created. The "enable" file was moved up, as it is a more crucial file to have and a hard failure (return -ENOMEM) should be returned if it is not created.
