module_put() is not called for a patch with "forced" flag. It should
block the removal of the livepatch module when the code might still
be in use after forced transition.
klp_force_transition() currently sets "forced" flag for all patches on
the list.
In fact, any patch can be safely unloaded when it passed through
the consistency model in KLP_UNPATCHED transition.
In other words, the "forced" flag must be set only for livepatches
that are being removed. In particular, set the "forced" flag:
+ only for klp_transition_patch when the transition to KLP_UNPATCHED
state was forced.
+ all replaced patches when the transition to KLP_PATCHED state was
forced and the patch was replacing the existing patches.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
