Hi,

I am sorry for the late review. I have been snowed under another
tasks.

Sounds great.

This duplicates most of the klp_find_callback(). Please, call this
new function in klp_find_callback() instead of the duplicated code.
I mean to do:

static int klp_find_callback(void *data, const char *name, unsigned long addr)
{
	struct klp_find_arg *args = data;

	if (strcmp(args->name, name))
		return 0;

	return klp_match_callback(data, addr);
}

Otherwise, it looks good.

Best Regards,
Petr
