[PATCH v2 0/4] Clean up access to trace_event_file from a file struct

From: Petr Pavlu

Date: Mon Feb 16 2026 - 08:47:03 EST


This series includes several patches related to accessing
trace_event_file from a file struct. The first patch is a fix for an
edge case, the remaining patches are minor cleanups.

Changes since v1 [1]:
* Fix a compilation error when CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS is not set.
* Drop a patch that references the trace_event_file data in
event_file_data() and keep the simpler implementation of storing the
id in i_private.
* Inline event_file_data() into event_id_read() to enable adding
additional checks to the former.

Petr Pavlu (4):
tracing: Fix checking of freed trace_event_file for hist files
tracing: Remove unnecessary check for EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED
tracing: Clean up access to trace_event_file from a file pointer
tracing: Free up file->private_data for use by individual events
