Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2 v3] tracing/uprobes: Support ftrace_event_file base
	multibuffer

Sorry again, didn't have time to review, will try tomorrow.

Looks good but a couple of minor nits, and perhaps we should
fix the bugs with unregister_trace_uprobe first... in kprobes
too _if_ I am right. I'll return tomorrow.

Cosmetic again, "int enabled = 0" and then "if (is_trace_uprobe_enabled)"
looks a bit strange,

	enabled = is_trace_uprobe_enabled();

looks a bit more clean.

I agree with Masami, list_add_rcu_tail() looks better even if this
doesn't really matter.
