From: Zheng Yejian <zhengyejian1@xxxxxxxxxx> When executing following commands like what document said, but the log "#### all functions enabled ####" was not shown as expect: 1. Set a 'mod' filter: $ echo 'write*:mod:ext3' > /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_filter 2. Invert above filter: $ echo '!write*:mod:ext3' >> /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_filter 3. Read the file: $ cat /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_filter By some debugging, I found that flag FTRACE_HASH_FL_MOD was not unset after inversion like above step 2 and then result of ftrace_hash_empty() is incorrect.
