IIUC, to use this, you'd have to load the module first, manually look up the module function's address, and _then_ build the patch for the running system.

Just trying to understand if this is needed for a real world usage scenario. -- Josh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
