Indeed, and by SystemTAP as well.

What justifies the need to stop mid-iteration ? A less intrusive alternative
would be to use the "priv" data pointer to keep state telling further calls
to return immediately. Does performance of iteration over tracepoints really
matter here so much that stopping iteration immediately is worth it ?
