I somehow forgot about this patch set. The discussion about v1 was inconclusive, so I'm sending it again with changes according to the feedback I got. I still think it is useful, so please consider.
Changes since v1: - timeout changed to 15 seconds (Josh) - make it wait for 15 seconds, no more, no less (Josh) - the message in klp_send_signals() is printed only once per transition (Josh) - the counter is zeroed in klp_start_transition(), so that even klp_reverse_transition() starts correctly (Petr) Miroslav Benes (2): livepatch: Send a fake signal periodically livepatch: Remove signal sysfs attribute .../ABI/testing/sysfs-kernel-livepatch | 12 --- Documentation/livepatch/livepatch.txt | 15 ++- kernel/livepatch/core.c | 32 ------- kernel/livepatch/transition.c | 93 +++++++++++-------- kernel/livepatch/transition.h | 1 - 5 files changed, 59 insertions(+), 94 deletions(-) -- 2.20.1
