13 daysliveupdate: luo_file: do not clear serialized_data on unfreezePratyush Yadav (Google)1-2/+0
Patch series "liveupdate: fixes in error handling". This series contains some fixes in LUO's error handling paths. The first patch deals with failed freeze() attempts. The cleanup path calls unfreeze, and that clears some data needed by later unpreserve calls. The second patch is a bit more involved. It deals with failed retrieve() attempts. To do so properly, it reworks some of the error handling logic in luo_file core. Both these fixes are "theoretical" -- in the sense that I have not been able to reproduce either of them in normal operation. The only supported file type right now is memfd, and there is nothing userspace can do right now to make it fail its retrieve or freeze. I need to make the retrieve or freeze fail by artificially injecting errors. The injected errors trigger a use-after-free and a double-free. That said, once more complex file handlers are added or memfd preservation is used in ways not currently expected or covered by the tests, we will be able to see them on real systems. This patch (of 2): The unfreeze operation is supposed to undo the effects of the freeze operation. serialized_data is not set by freeze, but by preserve. Consequently, the unpreserve operation needs to access serialized_data to undo the effects of the preserve operation. This includes freeing the serialized data structures for example. If a freeze callback fails, unfreeze is called for all frozen files. This would clear serialized_data for them. Since live update has failed, it can be expected that userspace aborts, releasing all sessions. When the sessions are released, unpreserve will be called for all files. The unfrozen files will see 0 in their serialized_data. This is not expected by file handlers, and they might either fail, leaking data and state, or might even crash or cause invalid memory access. Do not clear serialized_data on unfreeze so it gets passed on to unpreserve. There is no need to clear it on unpreserve since luo_file will be freed immediately after.

2025-12-10liveupdate: luo_file: don't use invalid list iteratorDan Carpenter1-2/+5
If we exit a list_for_each_entry() without hitting a break then the list iterator points to an offset from the list_head. It's a non-NULL but invalid pointer and dereferencing it isn't allowed. Introduce a new "found" variable to test instead.

2025-11-27liveupdate: luo_file: add private argument to store runtime statePratyush Yadav1-0/+9
Currently file handlers only get the serialized_data field to store their state. This field has a pointer to the serialized state of the file, and it becomes a part of LUO file's serialized state. File handlers can also need some runtime state to track information that shouldn't make it in the serialized data. One such example is a vmalloc pointer. While kho_preserve_vmalloc() preserves the memory backing a vmalloc allocation, it does not store the original vmap pointer, since that has no use being passed to the next kernel. The pointer is needed to free the memory in case the file is unpreserved. Provide a private field in struct luo_file and pass it to all the callbacks. The field's can be set by preserve, and must be freed by unpreserve.

2025-11-27liveupdate: luo_file: implement file systems callbacksPasha Tatashin1-0/+880
This patch implements the core mechanism for managing preserved files throughout the live update lifecycle. It provides the logic to invoke the file handler callbacks (preserve, unpreserve, freeze, unfreeze, retrieve, and finish) at the appropriate stages. During the reboot phase, luo_file_freeze() serializes the final metadata for each file (handler compatible string, token, and data handle) into a memory region preserved by KHO. In the new kernel, luo_file_deserialize() reconstructs the in-memory file list from this data, preparing the session for retrieval.
