From: "Masami Hiramatsu (Google)" <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx> There is a small chance that get_kretprobe(ri) returns NULL in kretprobe_dispatcher() when another CPU unregisters the kretprobe right after __kretprobe_trampoline_handler(). To avoid this issue, kretprobe_dispatcher() checks the get_kretprobe() return value again. And if it is NULL, it returns soon because that kretprobe is under unregistering process. This issue has been introduced when the kretprobe is decoupled from the struct kretprobe_instance by commit d741bf41d7c7 ("kprobes: Remove kretprobe hash"). Before that commit, the struct kretprob_instance::rp directly points the kretprobe and it is never be NULL.
