From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <[email protected]> When a callback from tracecmd_iterate_events_reverse() returns non-zero it cause the function to exit out early. Calling tracecmd_iterate_events_reverse() again with cont=true, is supposed to restart where it left off. But because of the way the reverse traverses all the events on a page, by calling tracecmd_read_data() to find the next task, it does not pick the next task. It can pick the next task at the start of the page. If the callback back causes the function to exit out early, record the page_offset of the last record read, and then set the cursor back to that event.
