[PATCH v6 0/5] tracing/fprobe: Fix fprobe_ip_table related bugs

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google)

Date: Tue Apr 14 2026 - 05:14:53 EST


Hi,

Here is the 6th version of fprobe bugfix series.
The previous version is here.

https://lore.kernel.org/all/177606956628.929411.17392736689322577701.stgit@devnote2/

In this version, I added yet another bugfixes for rejecting registered
fprobe correctly [1/5], and unregistering ftrace_ops if it is empty on
module unloading [5/5]. Also, add RCU synchronization for failure path
[2/5] and retry rhashtable walking outside of rhltable_walk_enter/exit
[3/5].

The [5/5] is to handle the module unloading problem I reported
previously [1]. This was handled solely within fprobe to avoid
impacting the live patch.

Thank you!
