I see your point. Well, note that the split code is code is called twice from klp_init_object() and klp_module_coming(), so it helps to remove the code duplicity. Also it clearly separates the operations that are always done and that are done only when the object is loaded. If you suggest to call klp_find_verify_func_addr() directly from klp_init_object_loaded(), I am fine with it. We could always create it later if there are more operations needed for struct func. > Ditto for klp_free_func_loaded. Note that there will be two lines if we agree to add old_ip into struct klp_func. If it handles only old_addr, I agree with moving the one line to klp_free_object_loaded().
