Hi Alexei, Based on Plumber's note [1], it sounds that the use case is tied to the BPF tracing where a call tp find_vma() call will be made on a process's context to fetch user space's symbols. Am I right ? Is the find_vma() call made in the context of the process owning the mm struct ? Thanks, Laurent. [1] https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/LPC2017_Tracing)
