My point was that if you open set_ftrace_filter/set_ftrace_notrace with just O_RDWR
perm. and will use the file just for reading, the filter will reset.

You're right about the "w+", there's the O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, sry I missed that.. ;)
Anyway with "r+" you'll get O_RDWR perm. only, showing the issue:


sh-4.0# echo "sys_open sys_write" > ./set_ftrace_filter
sh-4.0# cat ./set_ftrace_filter
sys_open
sys_write
sh-4.0# /ft ./set_ftrace_filter r+
#### all functions enabled ####
sh-4.0# cat ./set_ftrace_filter
#### all functions enabled ####
sh-4.0#
