Sure. Sorry for confuse you with my comment.

Following is the livepatch code.

list_for_each_entry(patch, &klp_patches, list) {
	for (obj = patch->objs; obj->funcs; obj++) {
----------------------------------
We get the fisrt object from the patch, then we break the loop. The code is more clearly to
use "if", instead of the loop.
----------------------------------
		if (!klp_is_module(obj) || strcmp(obj->name, mod->name))
			continue;

		if (action == MODULE_STATE_COMING) {
			obj->mod = mod;
			klp_module_notify_coming(patch, obj);
		} else /* MODULE_STATE_GOING */
			klp_module_notify_going(patch, obj);

		break;
----------------------------------
Here we break the loop.
----------------------------------
	}
}
