From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" t_hash_start() does not increment *pos, where as t_next() must. But when t_next() does increment *pos, it must still pass in the original *pos to t_hash_start() otherwise it will skip the first instance: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo schedule:traceoff > set_ftrace_filter # echo do_IRQ:traceoff > set_ftrace_filter # echo call_rcu > set_ftrace_filter # cat set_ftrace_filter call_rcu schedule:traceoff:unlimited do_IRQ:traceoff:unlimited The above called t_hash_start() from t_start() as there was only one function (call_rcu), but if we add another function: # echo xfrm_policy_destroy_rcu >> set_ftrace_filter # cat set_ftrace_filter call_rcu xfrm_policy_destroy_rcu do_IRQ:traceoff:unlimited The "schedule:traceoff" disappears.
