Ah, I see. I need to check that case. Actually for the module
init text area, kill_kprobe() correctly kicks kill_optimized_kprobe()
so it should safe. But above case is on the init-text in kernel
itself. I guess module_notifier may not be called for that area...

I see, since it depends on the timing when the thread is kicked.

Yes, I must handle it.

Thank you!
