From eaf260ac04d9b4cf9f458d5c97555bfff2da526e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joel Fernandes Date: Thu, 6 Jul 2017 16:00:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Treat recording comm for idle task as a success Currently we stop recording comm for non-idle tasks when switching from/to idle task since we treat that as a record failure. Fix that by treat recording of comm for idle task as a success.
