Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/3] uprobes: Introduce uprobe_is_active()

* Oleg Nesterov <oleg@...hat.com> [2012-11-25 23:33:47]:

> The lifetime of uprobe->rb_node and uprobe->inode is not refcounted,
> delete_uprobe() is called when we detect that uprobe has no consumers,
> and it would be deadly wrong to do this twice.
> 
> Change delete_uprobe() to WARN() if it was already called. We use
> RB_CLEAR_NODE() to mark uprobe "inactive", then RB_EMPTY_NODE() can
> be used to detect this case.
> 
> RB_EMPTY_NODE() is not used directly, we add the trivial helper for
> the next change.
