What exactly where you running to trigger this? (so that I can extend my
test coverage etc..)

Yes, although perhaps a new helper. I'll go ponder during lunch.

PS. I posted v3 but forgot to Cc you:

  https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220303112321.422525803@infradead.org

I think the above hunk ended up in the kprobe patch, but on second
thought I should've put it in the ftrace one. I'll go ammend and add
this other site you found.
