I think they are common, i.e. checking vm prot since uprobes are
typically installed for VM_EXEC vmas. We could use those checks to save
some cycles.

We might just leave uprobe vmas to use regular do_munmap? I'm supposed
they should be not very common. And, uprobes just can be installed for
VM_EXEC vma, although there may be large text segments, typically
VM_EXEC vmas are unmapped when process exits, so the latency might be fine.

Yes, thanks for catching this.

No, the jump is called before downgrade_write.

Thanks,
