Hmm. I just noticed this patch is buggy. arch_uprobe_disable_step(&uprobe->arch)
is not safe after put_uprobe().

Srikar, I fixed this in my tree with the following change,

        +       arch_uprobe_disable_step(&uprobe->arch);
                put_uprobe(uprobe);
                utask->active_uprobe = NULL;
                utask->state = UTASK_RUNNING;
        -       arch_uprobe_disable_step(&uprobe->arch);
                xol_free_insn_slot(current);
         
                spin_lock_irq(&current->sighand->siglock);

I hope your ack is still valid.

And this also allows us to rely on utask->state in disable_step(), see
the new 8/7 I'll send in a minute. I was going to fix this later, but
I just realized that "disable if trapped" is more buggy than I thought.

Assuming that you are agree with 6 and 8. I'd prefer the new one as a
separate change, but if you prefer to join them please let me know.

Oleg.
