Re: [PATCH 1/2] tracing: Store trace_marker_raw payload length in events

Hi Steven,
I looked through the current trace_marker_raw users and the expected
usage more carefully.
The existing users I found treat trace_marker_raw as a binary channel
and parse the data from raw events or trace_pipe_raw, not from the
formatted trace output. Given that, I do not see a strong requirement
for TRACE_RAW_DATA itself to carry and maintain an exact payload length
just for the text printing path.
So I agree this is not really a technical limitation in the current
implementation, but a requirement question, and the requirement does
not look strong enough here.
I'll drop this series for now and close this task on my side.
Thanks,
Cao Ruichuang
