!vma is not possible.

But I can't understand the !valid_vma(vma) check... We shouldn't return,
we should ignore this vma and continue, no? Otherwise, I can't see how
this can work if someone does, say, mmap(PROT_READ).

This looks suspicious. If atomic_inc_not_zero() can fail, iow if we can
see ->mm_users == 0, then why it is safe to touch this counter/memory?
How we can know ->mm_count != 0 ?

I _think_ this is probably correct, ->mm_users == 0 means we are racing
mmput(), ->i_mmap_mutex and the fact we found this vma guarantees that
mmput() can't pass unlink_file_vma() and thus mmdrop() is not possible.
May be needs a comment...

Looks unneeded.

It is not clear why we can't race with mmap() after find_next_vma_info()
returns NULL. I guess this is solved by the next patches.

But we can't trust find_vma? The original vma found by find_next_vma_info()
could go away, at least we should verify vi->vaddr >= vm_start.

And worse, I do not understand how we can trust ->vaddr. Can't we race with
sys_mremap() ?

Same problems...

Not sure about !valid_vma() (and note that __find_next_vma_info does() this
check too).

Suppose that register_uprobe() succeeds. After that unregister_ should work
even if user-space does mprotect() which can make valid_vma() == F, right?

I guess this needs i_size_read().

And every "return" in register/unregister leaks something.

Looks like, alloc_uprobe() doesn't need ->i_mutex.

OTOH,

It seemes that del_consumer() should be done under ->i_mutex. If it
removes the last consumer, we can race with register_uprobe() which
takes ->i_mutex before us and does another __register_uprobe(), no?
