Description Johannes Berg 2021-07-06 21:24:37 UTC 
Since trace-cmd currently requires splice for the temporary files (see #213659), but also because it's a bit stupid to write temporary files to e.g. some network filesystem (or hostfs in an ARCH=um instance), it would make sense to have a command-line option to specify an alternative location for the temporary per-CPU files.
