/*
 * livepatch-shadow-mod.c - Shadow variables, buggy module demo
 *
 * Purpose
 * -------
 *
 * As a demonstration of livepatch shadow variable API, this module
 * introduces memory leak behavior that livepatch modules
 * livepatch-shadow-fix1.ko and livepatch-shadow-fix2.ko correct and
 * enhance.
 *
 * WARNING - even though the livepatch-shadow-fix modules patch the
 * memory leak, please load these modules at your own risk -- some
 * amount of memory may leaked before the bug is patched.
 *
 *
 * Usage
 * -----
 *
 * Step 1 - Load the buggy demonstration module:
 *
 *   insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-mod.ko
 *
 * Watch dmesg output for a few moments to see new dummy being allocated
 * and a periodic cleanup check.  (Note: a small amount of memory is
 * being leaked.)
 *
 *
 * Step 2 - Load livepatch fix1:
 *
 *   insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-fix1.ko
 *
 * Continue watching dmesg and note that now livepatch_fix1_dummy_free()
 * and livepatch_fix1_dummy_alloc() are logging messages about leaked
 * memory and eventually leaks prevented.
 *
 *
 * Step 3 - Load livepatch fix2 (on top of fix1):
 *
 *   insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-fix2.ko
 *
 * This module extends functionality through shadow variables, as a new
 * "check" counter is added to the dummy structure.  Periodic dmesg
 * messages will log these as dummies are cleaned up.
 *
 *
 * Step 4 - Cleanup
 *
 * Unwind the demonstration by disabling the livepatch fix modules, then
 * removing them and the demo module:
 *
 *   echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_shadow_fix2/enabled
 *   echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_shadow_fix1/enabled
 *   rmmod livepatch-shadow-fix2
 *   rmmod livepatch-shadow-fix1
 *   rmmod livepatch-shadow-mod
