Linus,
please pull from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching.git for-linus
to receive livepatching updates for 4.16:
=====
- handling of 'infinitely'-long sleeping tasks, from Miroslav Benes
- removal of 'immediate' feature, as it turns out it doesn't provide
the originally expected semantics, and brings more issues than value
=====
Thanks.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Miroslav Benes (4):
livepatch: send a fake signal to all blocking tasks
livepatch: force transition to finish
livepatch: Remove immediate feature
livepatch: add locking to force and signal functions
