If call disable(), the @enabled is set 0 there.

Return 0 indicate the actually disabling and successed.

If disable a diabled monitor, return error(negative).

Always return 0 here, whatever the return value of __rv_disable_monitor().
And this enforce me to look more here, see below.

About the retval here. If count == 1 and retval == 0, then
`retval = count` --> retval == 1. This retval will be returned to 
user space and dedicate that how many character read and success
If retval is 1(it is not possiable, the return value of
da_monitor_init_*() called in enable callback in rv_enable_monitor()
will be 0, so that return value check is not needed, or any other functions
called in enable callback need to check the return value then, so I checked
the WARN_ONCE() called in macro rv_attach_trace_probe() which is called in
enable callback, if the WARN_ONCE is called, it means that something go wrong.
We need to check the return value of WARN_ONCE() in enable callback), the
return value will be returned to user space but actually the error(warn) happened.
User space do not know. They treat the two kind of return value 1 the same
but one is the write count value successed and another is the write error
value returned.
In enable callback, check rv_attach_trace_probe():

static int enable_wip(void)
{
      int retval = 1;
 	  
      /* 
       * Delete the check of return value of da_monitor_init_wip()
       * because it is always 0
       */
      da_monitor_init_wip();

      retval &= rv_attach_trace_probe("wip", preempt_enable, handle_preempt_enable);
      retval &= rv_attach_trace_probe("wip", sched_waking, handle_sched_waking);
      retval &= rv_attach_trace_probe("wip", preempt_disable, handle_preempt_disable);

      /* 
       * If the retval is not 0, it mean at least one rv_attach_trace_probe()
       * is WARN_ONCE(). I am not sure that if the first WARN_ONCE() happened,
       * then return directly or at here after all rv_attach_trace_probe() is
       * called and check the retval is 0 or 1.
       */
      if (retval)
             return -1;
      return retval;
}

s/>=/>/ no? The same check happened in patch 2. Thanks,
