Hi,
I think we are really close (or I hope so). I found few suspicious things
or nitpicks though. They might have applied also to v5, but I didn't
manage to look at that. Sorry about that.

Maybe klp_is_patch_registered is more appropriate name (consistent with
other predicates in the file).

Just to be sure about our policy. We want to be stricter during enabling
than in disabling process. Is that correct? Otherwise there is
inconsistency in pr_* macros and return values. Also fops could be
hypothetically registered back when ftrace_set_filter_ip fails in
klp_disable_func. I just want to be sure that we didn't overlook
anything...

There should be return -ENOMEM.

Shouldn't we call kobject_put(obj->kobj) in free branch? If I am not wrong
it is not freed anywhere else. We free only already initialized functions
and already initialized objects later in klp_init_patch, but not the
kobject of the currently failing object.

And that is everything. I like it, it has improved a lot. I hope that
there are no other problems. I am getting blind looking at it all the
time :)
Thank you
