it's my fault to start tracexN tradition that turned out to be
cumbersome, let's not continue it. Instead could you rename it
to something meaningful? Like test_probe_write_user ?
Right now it just prints client's peer address and human needs to
visually verify that probe_write_user actually happened, if you can
convert it into a test it will help a lot.
We were planning to convert all of the samples/bpf/ into tests,
so we can run them continuously.

btw, single patch re-submit will not be picked up. Please always
re-submit the whole patch set together.

I thought we were argeeing on single pr_warn_ratelimited without banner ?

The rest looks good.
Thanks!
