Yes, it does. klp_module_coming() calls module_disable_ro() on all patching modules which patch the coming module in order to call apply_relocate_add(). New (patching) code for a module can be relocated only when the relevant module is loaded.FWIW, would the LPC blue-sky2 model (ie, Steve's suggestion @ plumber's where livepatches only patch a single object and updates are kept on disk to handle coming module updates as they are loaded) eliminate those outstanding relocations and the need to perform this late permission flipping?
I wasn't at Plumbers sadly, was this idea documented/talked about in detail somewhere? (recording, slides, etherpad, etc?). What do you mean by updates are kept on disk? Maybe someone can explain it more in detail? :)
