The atomic replace runs pre/post (un)install callbacks only from the new livepatch. There are several reasons for this: + Simplicity: clear ordering of operations, no interactions between old and new callbacks. + Reliability: only new livepatch knows what changes can already be made by older livepatches and how to take over the state. + Testing: the atomic replace can be properly tested only when a newer livepatch is available. It might be too late to fix unwanted effect of callbacks from older livepatches. It might happen that an older change is not enough and the same system state has to be modified another way. Different changes need to get distinguished by a version number added to struct klp_state. The version can also be used to prevent loading incompatible livepatches. The check is done when the livepatch is enabled. The rules are: + Any completely new system state modification is allowed. + System state modifications with the same or higher version are allowed for already modified system states. + Cumulative livepatches must handle all system state modifications from already installed livepatches. + Non-cumulative livepatches are allowed to touch already modified system states.
