would be safer to use list_for_each_entry_{continue,from}_reverse() iterator (probably _continue_reverse(), because the current patch failed). That would unpatch the objects in the correct order (see your test case above) and it is also an optimization because you'd process only those patches which were walked through during the first loop. > + > + if (!patch->enabled || patch == klp_transition_patch) > + continue; Is the second part with klp_transition_patch correct? Yes, we need to skip disabled patches. No question about that. But klp_transition_patch seems odd. It is true, that (if I am not mistaken) klp_transition_patch is the last patch in patches list which is relevant (because we cannot enable/disable any random patch in the list). If that failed to patch, you wouldn't need to worry about it anyway, because you need to process previous patches only. Am I missing something? So I think it can stay, yes. But I'd like to understand it.
