Subject: Re: [PATCH 7/7] tracing: Un-export ftrace_set_clr_event

Hi Steve,

The first patch would be like a temporary fix in case we need more 
changes to the patches that add the new function - trace_array_set_clr() 
and unexport ftrace_set_clr_event() and might take some time. In which 
case I think it would be good to have this in place (But, not part of 
this series).

If they all are to go in together as part of the same release ie if all 
is good with the concerned patches (Patch 6 & Patch 7), then I think 
having this patch would be meaningless.

Thanks,

Divya
