19 * livepatch-shadow-mod.c - Shadow variables, buggy module demo
24 * As a demonstration of livepatch shadow variable API, this module
25 * introduces memory leak behavior that livepatch modules
26 * livepatch-shadow-fix1.ko and livepatch-shadow-fix2.ko correct and
29 * WARNING - even though the livepatch-shadow-fix modules patch the
30 * memory leak, please load these modules at your own risk -- some
31 * amount of memory may leaked before the bug is patched.
37 * Step 1 - Load the buggy demonstration module:
39 * insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-mod.ko
41 * Watch dmesg output for a few moments to see new dummy being allocated
42 * and a periodic cleanup check. (Note: a small amount of memory is
46 * Step 2 - Load livepatch fix1:
48 * insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-fix1.ko
50 * Continue watching dmesg and note that now livepatch_fix1_dummy_free()
51 * and livepatch_fix1_dummy_alloc() are logging messages about leaked
52 * memory and eventually leaks prevented.
55 * Step 3 - Load livepatch fix2 (on top of fix1):
57 * insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-fix2.ko
59 * This module extends functionality through shadow variables, as a new
60 * "check" counter is added to the dummy structure. Periodic dmesg
61 * messages will log these as dummies are cleaned up.
66 * Unwind the demonstration by disabling the livepatch fix modules, then
67 * removing them and the demo module:
69 * echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_shadow_fix2/enabled
70 * echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_shadow_fix1/enabled
71 * rmmod livepatch-shadow-fix2
72 * rmmod livepatch-shadow-fix1
