By now there isn't any subcommand for mod. Before: sh$ echo '*:mod:ipv6:a' > set_ftrace_filter sh$ echo '*:mod:ipv6' > set_ftrace_filter had the same results, but now first will result in: sh$ echo '*:mod:ipv6:a' > set_ftrace_filter -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument Also, I clarified ftrace_mod_callback code a little.
