Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.2

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 06/27/22. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/b55b2820d215b4a24cb402aeb4bdf2f4ab6f0870

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] trace: fix init with long file prefix

[ upstream commit d59a940667989461e2916207e7fbb8148504c44f ]

Bug scenario:
1. start testpmd:
  $ dpdk-testpmd -l 4-6 -a 0000:7d:00.0 --trace=.* \
    --file-prefix=trace_autotest -- -i
2. then observed:
  EAL: eal_trace_init():93 failed to initialize trace [File exists]
  EAL: FATAL: Cannot init trace
  EAL: Cannot init trace
  EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1

The root cause it that the offset set wrong with long file-prefix and
then lead the strftime return failed.

At the same time, trace_session_name_generate() uses errno as the return
value, but the errno was not set if strftime returned zero.
A previously set errno (EEXIST or ENOENT from call to mkdir for creating
the runtime configuration directory) was returned in this case.
This is fragile and may lead to incorrect logic if errno was set
to 0 previously.
This also resulted in inaccurate prompting.
Set errno to ENOSPC if strftime return zero.

Fixes: 321dd5f8fa62 ("trace: add internal init and fini interface")
