The comment above uprobe_write_opcode() is wrong, unapply_uprobe() calls it under mmap_read_lock() and this is correct. And it is completely unclear why register_for_each_vma() takes mmap_lock for writing, add a comment to explain that mmap_write_lock() is needed to avoid the following race: - A task T hits the bp installed by uprobe and calls find_active_uprobe() - uprobe_unregister() removes this uprobe/bp - T calls find_uprobe() which returns NULL - another uprobe_register() installs the bp at the same address - T calls is_trap_at_addr() which returns true - T returns to handle_swbp() and gets SIGTRAP.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
