Our system encountered a re-init error when re-registering same kretprobe,

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.


Implementation to avoid re-registration has been introduced for kprobe
before, but lags for register_kretprobe(). We must check if kprobe has
been re-registered before re-initializing kretprobe, otherwise it will
destroy the data struct of kretprobe registered, which can lead to memory
leak, system crash, also some unexpected behaviors.

we use check_kprobe_rereg() to check if kprobe has been re-registered
before calling register_kretprobe(), for giving a warning message and
terminate registration process.

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,
