I prefer to keep the check. The function does the right thing also for the object "vmlinux". Also the livepatch code includes many similar paranoid checks that makes the code less error prone against any further changes. Of course, it is a matter of taste. > mutex_lock(&module_mutex); > /* > * We do not want to block removal of patched modules and therefore Otherwise, the patch looks fine. Best Regards, Petr

Well, the check is in the caller now where we have a conditional for it. So I'd be tempted to either update the comment, or just drop the patch.

Also even without the check I think it will do the right thing when called for vmlinux given that it simplify won't find a module called vmlinux..

Merge three calls to klp_is_module (including one hidden inside klp_find_object_module) into a single one to simplify the code a bit. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> --- kernel/livepatch/core.c | 18 +++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-)
