Yes, but again, this still looks confusing.

IMO, we should either remove "bp->attr.disabled = attr->disabled" in
modify_user_hw_breakpoint_check() because bp->attr.disabled is not really
used, or we should set bp->attr.disabled = 1 on failure just for consistency.


Hmm... actually ptrace_get_dr7() checks ->attr.disabled, so we can hit
WARN_ON(second_pass) in ptrace_write_dr7() in case when attr.disabled is
falsely 0 because modify_user_hw_breakpoint_check() failed before?

It seems I am totally confused and need to sleep ;)

Oleg.
