Excellent catch! Thank you, I will apply this patch and send v4 right after.
Regarding test, do you think I can add a test for the EADDRNOTAVAIL case?
Maybe it should go inside LTP? As this would need having a kernel compiled
with a name pointing to several symbols?
Also, should some man pages somewhere be updated to reflect the case kprobe can
return EADDRNOTAVAIL?
