Subject: [PATCH 4/4] selftests: livepatch: Add information about minimum kernel support
Date: Sun, 24 May 2026 20:50:33 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260524-livepatch-unload-on-fail-v1-4-7465de7f741d@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260524-livepatch-unload-on-fail-v1-0-7465de7f741d@suse.com>
The current livepatch selftests are compatible with kernel 4.12, so add
a note about it for future developers willing to contribute with new
tests.

general module loading and livepatch loading helpers (waiting for patch
transitions, sysfs entries, etc.)
