[PATCH v14 06/11] livepatch: Use lists to manage patches, objects and functions

From: Petr Mladek
Date: Thu Nov 29 2018 - 04:45:13 EST


From: Jason Baron <jbaron@xxxxxxxxxx>

Currently klp_patch contains a pointer to a statically allocated array of
struct klp_object and struct klp_objects contains a pointer to a statically
allocated array of klp_func. In order to allow for the dynamic allocation
of objects and functions, link klp_patch, klp_object, and klp_func together
via linked lists. This allows us to more easily allocate new objects and
functions, while having the iterator be a simple linked list walk.

The static structures are added to the lists early. It allows to add
the dynamically allocated objects before klp_init_object() and
klp_init_func() calls. Therefore it reduces the further changes
to the code.

This patch does not change the existing behavior.
