Not necessary though, but I would still like to keep it for a safety.

Yes. delayed_uprobe_remove(uprobe=NULL, mm=NULL) is an invalid case. If I remove
this check, code below (or more accurately code suggested by Oleg) will remove
all entries from delayed_uprobe_list. So I will keep this check but put a comment
above function.

Sure, I can move this warning to caller of this function but what are the
exact fields you would like to print with warning? Something like this is
fine?
pr_warn("ref_ctr %s failed for 0x%lx, 0x%lx, 0x%lx, 0x%p",
d > 0 ? "increment" : "decrement", inode->i_ino,
offset, ref_ctr_offset, mm);
More importantly, the reason I didn't print more info is because dmesg is
accessible to unprivileged users in many distros but uprobes are not. So
printing this information may be a security violation. No?

Yes, I can use short as well.

No. delayed_uprobe_add() is needed for uprobe_register() case to handle race
between uprobe_register() and process creation.

Sure, I'll do that.

__update_ref_ctr() is already printing warning, so I didn't add anything here.
In case I remove a warning from __update_ref_ctr(), a warning something like
below is fine?
pr_warn("ref_ctr increment failed for 0x%lx, 0x%lx, 0x%lx, 0x%p",
inode->i_ino, offset, ref_ctr_offset, vma->vm_mm);
Again, can this lead to a security violation?
Thanks for detailed review :)
