[PATCH] livepatch.h: Add comment to klp transition state

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Wardenjohn <zhangwarden@xxxxxxxxx>

livepatch.h use KLP_UNDEFINED\KLP_UNPATCHED\KLP_PATCHED for klp transition state.
When livepatch is ready but idle, using KLP_UNDEFINED seems very confusing.
In order not to introduce potential risks to kernel, just update comment
to these state.
