.SH NAME
kpatch \- hot patch module management
.SH SYNOPSIS
kpatch <command> [<args>]
.SH DESCRIPTION
change 'apply/remove' to 'load/unload' After removing the distinction between 'enabled' modules and 'applied' modules in 022e42bc, we can change the 'apply' and 'remove' subcommands, to more intuitive 'load' and 'unload' subcommands. Signed-off-by: Seth Jennings <sjenning@redhat.com>

kpatch is a user script that manages installing, loading, and

displaying information about kernel patch modules installed on
the system.
kpatch replace Allow the user to atomically replace all existing modules with a new "kpatch replace" command. This provides a safe way to do atomic upgrades for cumulative patch module updates.

kpatch: change --kver to --kernel-version
2014-05-21 21:47:43 +00:00
install [-k|--kernel-version=<kernel version>] <module>
kpatch: allow kpatch load/unload/info for files A user may want to load a module without having to install it to the initrd. In fact, 99% of the time I think that will be the typical usage of "kpatch load", with a given file as an argument rather than a DB module. Have "kpatch load" and other commands take a file as input. If the file is not found, then check the DB.

load --all
update patch module terminology Try to be more consistent with the terminology. In various places we call it a "hotpatch module", "hot patch module", or "patch module". How about we just call it a "patch module" everywhere?

replace <module>
load patch module into the running kernel, replacing all other modules
kpatch: add unload --all command This may end up being useful in the distro patch module upgrade path. If the core module also needs updating, we can first do "kpatch unload --all" and "rmmod kpatch" before doing "kpatch load" of the new patch module.

unload --all
unload all patch modules from the running kernel
