It appears that ip ranges can overlap so. In that case lookup_rec() returns whatever results it got last even if it found nothing in last searched page. This breaks an obscure livepatch late module patching usecase: - load livepatch - load the patched module - unload livepatch - try to load livepatch again To fix this return from lookup_rec() as soon as it found the record containing searched-for ip. This used to be this way prior lookup_rec() introduction.
