I actually dont see the patch that removed the uprobe->pending_list.
I dont see it as part of the 7 that you sent yesterday. Nor does is it
part of the series that you sent today.

the uprobe_mmap_hash was required because we can do only one insert or
remove operation at a time. 

How are we going to synchronize uprobe_mmap() for two different vmas
that belong two different mms but map the same inode?

May be I am missing a patch somewhere.
