24		A writable attribute that indicates whether the patched

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
48		Documentation/livepatch/livepatch.rst for more information.
