I have a mixed feeling about this series... I'll try to summarise my thinking tomorrow, but I do not see any obvious problem so far. Although I have some concerns about 5/6, I need to re-read it after sleep.

OK, I do not know if it will actually hurt in practice and probably we can use the better data structures if necessary. But can't we check MMF_HAS_UPROBES at least? I mean, if (vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE && test_bit(MMF_HAS_UPROBES, &vma->vm_mm->flags)) delayed_uprobe_install(vma); ? Perhaps we can even add another flag later, MMF_HAS_DELAYED_UPROBES set by delayed_uprobe_add(). Oleg.
