probe_event_enable() does

uprobe_register();
/* WINDOW */
sdt_increment_ref_ctr();

what if uprobe_mmap() is called in between? The counter(s) in this vma
will be incremented twice, no?

I can't understand the logic... Lets ignore sdt_valid_vma() for now.
The caller has uprobe_map_info, why it can't simply do
vma = find_vma(uprobe_map_info->vaddr)? and then check sdt_valid_vma().
