OK, I'll fix it.

I think below way is simpler:

+	/*
+	/* Clear all breakpoints if:
+	/* 1: echo > ksym_trace_filter
+	/* 2: echo 0 > ksym_trace_filter
+	/* 3: echo "*:---" > ksym_trace_filter 
+	*/
+	strstrip(input_string);
+	if (!input_string[0] || !strcmp(input_string, "0") ||
+	   (!strcmp(input, "*:---")) {
+		__ksym_trace_reset();
+		kfree(input_string);
+		return count;
+	}
+

I'll sent a new patch after do some test for it.

Thanks,
Xiao
