Subject: Fix: kernel tracing: flush after stop
X-Git-Tag: v2.8.0~25
X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=019e9d1b3f94f345fd7a5275ce712302ae5715d8;p=lttng-tools.git

Fix: kernel tracing: flush after stop

We should flush the last packet after stop, not before. Otherwise, we
may end up with events written immediately after the flush, which
defeats the purpose of flushing.
