Subject: Re: [PATCH 4/5] uprobes: Change uprobe_copy_process() to dup
 return_instances

* Oleg Nesterov <oleg@...hat.com> [2013-10-13 21:18:41]:

> uprobe_copy_process() assumes that the new child doesn't need
> ->utask, it should be allocated by demand.
> 
> But this is not true if the forking task has the pending ret-
> probes, the child should report them as well and thus it needs
> the copy of parent's ->return_instances chain. Otherwise the
> child crashes when it returns from the probed function.
> 
> Note: this change alone doesn't fix the problem, see the next
> change.
