40Description:
41 A writable attribute that allows administrator to affect the
42 course of an existing transition. Writing 1 clears
43 TIF_PATCH_PENDING flag of all tasks and thus forces the tasks to
44 the patched or unpatched state. Administrator should not
45 use this feature without a clearance from a patch
46 distributor. Removal (rmmod) of patch modules is permanently
47 disabled when the feature is used. See
89e33ea7 48 Documentation/livepatch/livepatch.rst for more information.
