I need Wangshaobo's confirmation, because this is essentially a kind of 
programming bug,
not a runtime bug. kprobes user must check the kprobe(kretprobe) must be 
unregistered
and cleaned up before reusing it. (I recommend to re-alloc new data structure 
each time)

For example, if you re-register your driver/filesystem without releasing, it 
will
break the kernel.

Thank you,
