[lttng-dev] LTTNG_ENABLE_EVENT lsm cmd type?

[Thibault, Daniel]

   In the process of hunting down what is going on with a bug that occurs on one machine but not on the other, I ran into this:

$ sudo -H lttng -vvv create hsession
DEBUG3 [30339/30339]: URI string: file:///root/lttng-traces/hsession-20130704-112000 (in uri_parse() at uri.c:291)
DEBUG3 [30339/30339]: URI file destination: /root/lttng-traces/hsession-20130704-112000 (in uri_parse() at uri.c:328)

Session hsession created.

DEBUG1 [30339/30339]: Init config session in /root (in config_init() at conf.c:290)

$ sudo -H lttng -vvv enable-event -a -u
DEBUG2 [30341/30341]: Config file path found: /root (in get_session_name() at utils.c:51)
DEBUG1 [30341/30341]: Session name found: hsession (in get_session_name() at utils.c:52)
DEBUG1 [30341/30341]: LSM cmd type : 6 (in send_session_msg() at lttng-ctl.c:130)

On one machine the log continues with:

All UST events are enabled in channel channel0

While on the other I get:

Error: Events: UST create session failed (channel channel0, session hsession)
DEBUG1 [30341/30341]: Clean exit (in clean_exit() at lttng.c:177)

   Setting this bug aside for now (until I can reliably recreate it), what strikes me as odd is the lsm cmd type value: it is LTTNG_ENABLE_EVENT (6) in both cases.  Shouldn't it rather be LTTNG_ENABLE_ALL_EVENT (7)?  This lsm cmd type assignation occurs in only one place, lttng-tools/src/lib/lttng-ctl/lttng-ctl.c:685:

	if (ev->name[0] != '\0') {
		lsm.cmd_type = LTTNG_ENABLE_EVENT;
	} else {
		lsm.cmd_type = LTTNG_ENABLE_ALL_EVENT;
	}

   Since the command was 'lttng enable-event -a -u', one would expect ev->name[0] to indeed be '\0', so what's going on?

Using:
lttng-tools-2.2.0-30-d771f83
lttng-ust-2.2.0-7-(rc2-46)-2dac206
