I prefer to .start to call .next, so I rewrite it to following:


@@ -157,17 +157,15 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(__ftrace_vprintk);
  static void *
  t_next(struct seq_file *m, void *v, loff_t *pos)
  {
-       const char **fmt = m->private;
-       const char **next = fmt;
+       const char **fmt;

-       (*pos)++;
+       if (v)
+               (*pos)++;

         if ((unsigned long)fmt >= (unsigned long)__stop___trace_bprintk_fmt)

-       next = fmt;
-       m->private = ++next;
-
         return fmt;
  }

but I have not tested it, if you have no objection, then:
