From f09d90864eb7cc00cadbbfd083b4eff84c167981 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miroslav Benes Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2016 16:34:08 +0200 Subject: livepatch: make object/func-walking helpers more robust Current object-walking helper checks the presence of obj->funcs to determine the end of objs array in klp_object structure. This is somewhat fragile because one can easily forget about funcs definition during livepatch creation. In such a case the livepatch module is successfully loaded and all objects after the incorrect one are omitted. This is very confusing. Let's make the helper more robust and check also for the other external member, name. Thus the helper correctly stops on an empty item of the array. We need to have a check for obj->funcs in klp_init_object() to make it work. The same applies to a func-walking helper. As a benefit we'll check for new_func member definition during the livepatch initialization. There is no such check anywhere in the code now.
