Subject: [PATCH 3/4] selftests: livepatch: Adapt mod_target module to pass on 4.12 kernels
Date: Sun, 24 May 2026 20:50:32 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260524-livepatch-unload-on-fail-v1-3-7465de7f741d@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260524-livepatch-unload-on-fail-v1-0-7465de7f741d@suse.com>

Use the stable module_param_cb API instead of proc_fs for exposing module
state. This approach is compatible with kernel 4.12 and later. The end
result is the same: the module has a function that shows a string, which
is later livepatched to show a different string. The only difference is
that the file being checked is now a module parameter instead of a
procfs entry.
