OK, but even this is not enough.

Once we inserted "int3" we must ensure that handle_swbp() will be
called even if this uprobe goes away. We have the reference but it
only protects uprobe itself, it can't protect agains delete_uprobe().

IOW, we must ensure that uprobe_pre_sstep_notifier() can't return 0.

So this patch needs the additional change in find_active_uprobe(),

- if (!uprobe && test_and_clear_bit(MMF_RECALC_UPROBES, &mm->flags))
+ if (!uprobe && hlist_empty(->return_uprobes) &&
+ test_and_clear_bit(MMF_RECALC_UPROBES, &mm->flags))

Oleg.
