The information about forced livepatch transition is currently stored in struct klp_patch. But there is not any obvious safe way how to access it when the split livepatch modules are removed.
If that's the only motivation to do this, klp_objects could have a reference to the klp_patch they are part of. This could easily be set when adding the klp_object to the klp_patch->obj_list in klp_init_object_early() . Having this reference could also prove useful in future scenarios. Cheers, -- Julien Thierry
