Ah, OK. Anyway if re-register happens on kretprobe, it must lose instances
on the list before checking re-register in register_kprobe().
So the idea looks good to me.

If you call this here, you must make sure kprobe_addr() is called on rp->kp.
But if kretprobe_blacklist_size == 0, kprobe_addr() is not called before
this check. So it should be in between kprobe_on_func_entry() and
kretprobe_blacklist_size check, like this

	if (!kprobe_on_func_entry(rp->kp.addr, rp->kp.symbol_name, rp->kp.offset))
		return -EINVAL;

	addr = kprobe_addr(&rp->kp);
	if (IS_ERR(addr))
		return PTR_ERR(addr);
	rp->kp.addr = addr;

	ret = check_kprobe_rereg(&rp->kp);
	if (WARN_ON(ret))
		return ret;

        if (kretprobe_blacklist_size) {
		for (i = 0; > > +	ret = check_kprobe_rereg(&rp->kp);


Thank you,
