Hi Steve,

Thanks for the review.
I'll fix the typos.

Yes, I'll use dereference_symbol_descriptor().

Yes, it is possible.

OK, actually I just followed what the kretprobe does.

Oops, "a task which is not running"

There is no check yet (I expected to caller ensure it).
I'll add task_is_running() check.
