It is synchronize_rcu(), but it seems sometimes it is called several times on one probe disabling. Anyway, without this update, I added a printk to count optimizer queue-length and found that all optimizer call with a single kprobe on the quenes. I think this depends on the machine, but as far as I tested on 8-threads qemu x86, shows this result...
