OK, I will do.

Yes, it can, for example probing on live-patched function.

Would you mean just replace WARN with WARN_ONCE as below?
WARN_ONCE(ret < 0, "Failed to disarm kprobe-ftrace at %pS (%d)\n",
p->addr, ret);
Anyway, without printing kprobe->addr, it may be meaningless for this case.

Would you consider to use pr_err() here? If so, I'll move this
dump as you suggested.
