First user enables the probe point but doesn't increment the ref_cnt. via uprobe_register 2. Second user tries to enable the probe point and also increments the ref_cnt via uprobe_register_refctr. 3. If the second user now removes the probe point via uprobe_unregister. 4. What is the state of the ref_cnt? -- Thanks and Regards Srikar
