I think it was because of the copy_vma + do_munmap. Since do_munmap() should be doing a put on the uprobe, we need an extra get to balance. That said, I cannot actually find the uprobe_munmap() from do_munmap(), but that might be due to lack of wakefulness etc.. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
