Subject: [PATCH] livepatch: Cancel transition a safe way for immediate patches
Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2017 13:07:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1491908868-27766-1-git-send-email-pmladek@suse.com> (raw)

klp_init_transition() does not set func->transition for immediate patches.
Then klp_ftrace_handler() could use the new code immediately. As a result,
it is not safe to put the livepatch module in klp_cancel_transition().

This patch reverts most of the last minute changes klp_cancel_transition().
It keeps the warning about a misuse because it still makes sense.

Hi,

I am afraid that Mirek was not right in the mail
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LSU.2.20.1702161504020.16310@pobox.suse.cz
IMHO, it is not safe to put the module when the immediate
patch cannot be applied.

Best Regards,
Petr
