+void lkdtm_WRITE_RO_PMALLOC(void)
+{
+	struct gen_pool *pool;
+	int *i;
+
+	pool = pmalloc_create_pool("pool", 0);
+	if (unlikely(!pool)) {

+		return;

+
+	i = (int *)pmalloc(pool, sizeof(int), GFP_KERNEL);

+		pmalloc_destroy_pool(pool);
+		return;
+	}
+
+	*i = INT_MAX;
+	pmalloc_protect_pool(pool);
+
+	pr_info("attempting bad pmalloc write at %p\n", i);
+	*i = 0;
Seems harmless, but I don't get why *i local variable needs to be set to 
0 at the end of this function.


Otherwise,
