Those imbalanced curly braces are not proper kernel style.

Also, is the (void *) cast required? arch.insns ought to be void * already, right? 
(I haven't checking whether that's true for all architectures.)

Btw., the original code had the curly braces right:

Thanks,

Ah, OK, I'll fix that.

Hmm, it is kprobe_opcode_t *, but anyway, on x86 it is same,, since kprobe_opcode_t
on x86 is u8.

It is OK because this is x86 very specific code.

Thank you,
