Agreed!

But ftrace is a very core and independent mechanism of kernel, it's hard to

make sure any user of ftrace, like kprobe, livepatch will handle module 
going correctly.

At least for now, kprobe does not handle that correctly...

So I think it's safer to fix it too in ftrace : )

Thanks for the suggestion, so in this new function, all ftrace_ops 
func_hash on

ftrace_ops_list will get updated on module removal.

I thought all ftrace_ops has non empty func_hash are on the ftrace 
global list...

Well, so I just leave this function unmodified.

Just call that new function register_ftrace_ops_hash() from 
ftrace_release_mod.

Thanks!
