The solution (*) for functions with non-trivial argument list is not there yet, and it's my requirement for this to be taken care of in a way that's not prone to easily-done human errors on the patch-producer side. (*) both "making it work" or "making it so broken that it's guaranteed that noone would ever produce a patch that brings the kernel down" is okay, but I really don't feel that just documenting the limitation is sufficient and safe in this case; kudos to Torsten here for idenfitfying the problem before it actually became The Problem Thanks, -- Jiri Kosina SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe live-patching" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
