/*
* livepatch-shadow-mod.c - Shadow variables, buggy module demo
*
* Purpose
* -------
*
* As a demonstration of livepatch shadow variable API, this module
* introduces memory leak behavior that livepatch modules
* livepatch-shadow-fix1.ko and livepatch-shadow-fix2.ko correct and
* enhance.
*
* WARNING - even though the livepatch-shadow-fix modules patch the
* memory leak, please load these modules at your own risk -- some
* amount of memory may leaked before the bug is patched.
*
*
* Usage
* -----
*
* Step 1 - Load the buggy demonstration module:
*
* insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-mod.ko
*
* Watch dmesg output for a few moments to see new dummy being allocated
* and a periodic cleanup check. (Note: a small amount of memory is
* being leaked.)
*
*
* Step 2 - Load livepatch fix1:
*
* insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-fix1.ko
*
* Continue watching dmesg and note that now livepatch_fix1_dummy_free()
* and livepatch_fix1_dummy_alloc() are logging messages about leaked
* memory and eventually leaks prevented.
*
*
* Step 3 - Load livepatch fix2 (on top of fix1):
*
* insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-fix2.ko
*
* This module extends functionality through shadow variables, as a new
* "check" counter is added to the dummy structure. Periodic dmesg
* messages will log these as dummies are cleaned up.
*
*
* Step 4 - Cleanup
*
* Unwind the demonstration by disabling the livepatch fix modules, then
* removing them and the demo module:
*
* echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_shadow_fix2/enabled
* echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_shadow_fix1/enabled
* rmmod livepatch-shadow-fix2
* rmmod livepatch-shadow-fix1
* rmmod livepatch-shadow-mod
