From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> The clearing of triggers may require a few loops as the order of the clearing is important. Some triggers rely on other triggers to be cleared before they can be cleared. The tracefs_instance_reset() will loop over all the triggers, clearing them one at a time, and restart from the top again if not all the triggers were cleared. This guarantees that the triggers will have other triggers cleared first if they depend on them to be cleared. The "file" string used to clear the trigger wasn't updated to equal the next file in the list, so it was stale.
