* Purpose
* - - - - - - -
*
* Fixes the memory leak introduced in livepatch - shadow - mod through the
* use of a shadow variable . This fix demonstrates the " extending " of
* short - lived data structures by patching its allocation and release
* functions .
*
*
* Usage
* - - - - -
*
* This module is not intended to be standalone . See the " Usage "
