cab056f2aae7250af50e503b81a80dfc567a1acd - liveupdate: luo_flb: introduce File-Lifecycle-Bound global state

Thu, 18 Dec 2025 16:57:51 +0100

liveupdate: luo_flb: introduce File-Lifecycle-Bound global stateIntroduce a mechanism for managing global kernel state whose lifecycle istied to the preservation of one or more files. This is necessary forsubsystems where multiple preserved file descriptors depend on a single,shared underlying resource.An example is HugeTLB, where multiple file descriptors such as memfd andguest_memfd may rely on the state of a single HugeTLB subsystem. Preserving this state for each individual file would be redundant andincorrect. The state should be preserved only once when the first file ispreserved, and restored/finished only once the last file is handled.This patch introduces File-Lifecycle-Bound (FLB) objects to solve thisproblem. An FLB is a global, reference-counted object with a defined setof operations:- A file handler (struct liveupdate_file_handler) declares a dependency on one or more FLBs via a new registration function, liveupdate_register_flb().- When the first file depending on an FLB is preserved, the FLB's .preserve() callback is invoked to save the shared global state. The reference count is then incremented for each subsequent file.- Conversely, when the last file is unpreserved (before reboot) or finished (after reboot), the FLB's .unpreserve() or .finish() callback is invoked to clean up the global resource.The implementation includes:- A new set of ABI definitions (luo_flb_ser, luo_flb_head_ser) and a corresponding FDT node (luo-flb) to serialize the state of all active FLBs and pass them via Kexec Handover.- Core logic in luo_flb.c to manage FLB registration, reference counting, and the invocation of lifecycle callbacks.- An API (liveupdate_flb_get/_incoming/_outgoing) for other kernel subsystems to safely access the live object managed by an FLB, both before and after the live update.This framework provides the necessary infrastructure for more complexsubsystems like IOMMU, VFIO, and KVM to integrate with the Live UpdateOrchestrator.Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20251218155752.3045808-5-pasha.tatashin@soleen.comSigned-off-by: Pasha Tatashin Cc: Alexander Graf Cc: David Gow Cc: David Matlack Cc: David Rientjes Cc: Jonathan Corbet Cc: Kees Cook Cc: Mike Rapoport Cc: Petr Mladek Cc: Pratyush Yadav Cc: Samiullah Khawaja Cc: Tamir Duberstein Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton List of files: /linux/kernel/liveupdate/Makefile

Also preparation for LUO - "Live Update Orchestrator" (Pasha Tatashin) is a major new feature targeted at cloud environments. Quoting the cover letter: This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory, devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition. As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in RAM across the kexec reboot. Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and testing work. - "kexec: reorganize kexec and kdump sysfs" (Sourabh Jain) moves the kexec and kdump sysfs entries from /sys/kernel/ to /sys/kernel/kexec/ and adds back-compatibility symlinks which can hopefully be removed one day - "kho: fixes for vmalloc restoration" (Mike Rapoport) fixes a BUG which was being hit during KHO restoration of vmalloc() regions* tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2025-12-06-11-14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (139 commits) calibrate: update header inclusion Reinstate "resource: avoid unnecessary lookups in find_next_iomem_res()" vmcoreinfo: track and log recoverable hardware errors kho: fix restoring of contiguous ranges of order-0 pages kho: kho_restore_vmalloc: fix initialization of pages array MAINTAINERS: TPM DEVICE DRIVER: update the W-tag init: replace simple_strtoul with kstrtoul to improve lpj_setup KHO: fix boot failure due to kmemleak access to non-PRESENT pages Documentation/ABI: new kexec and kdump sysfs interface Documentation/ABI: mark old kexec sysfs deprecated kexec: move sysfs entries to /sys/kernel/kexec test_kho: always print restore status kho: free chunks using free_page() instead of kfree() selftests/liveupdate: add kexec test for multiple and empty sessions selftests/liveupdate: add simple kexec-based selftest for LUO selftests/liveupdate: add userspace API selftests docs: add documentation for memfd preservation via LUO mm: memfd_luo: allow preserving memfd liveupdate: luo_file: add private argument to store runtime state mm: shmem: export some functions to internal.h ...

liveupdate: luo_file: implement file systems callbacksThis patch implements the core mechanism for managing preserved filesthroughout the live update lifecycle. It provides the logic to invoke thefile handler callbacks (preserve, unpreserve, freeze, unfreeze, retrieve,and finish) at the appropriate stages.During the reboot phase, luo_file_freeze() serializes the final metadatafor each file (handler compatible string, token, and data handle) into amemory region preserved by KHO. In the new kernel, luo_file_deserialize()reconstructs the in-memory file list from this data, preparing the sessionfor retrieval.Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20251125165850.3389713-7-pasha.tatashin@soleen.comSigned-off-by: Pasha Tatashin Reviewed-by: Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) Reviewed-by: Pratyush Yadav Tested-by: David Matlack Cc: Aleksander Lobakin Cc: Alexander Graf Cc: Alice Ryhl Cc: Andriy Shevchenko Cc: anish kumar Cc: Anna Schumaker Cc: Bartosz Golaszewski Cc: Bjorn Helgaas Cc: Borislav Betkov Cc: Chanwoo Choi Cc: Chen Ridong Cc: Chris Li Cc: Christian Brauner Cc: Daniel Wagner Cc: Danilo Krummrich Cc: Dan Williams Cc: David Hildenbrand Cc: David Jeffery Cc: David Rientjes Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Guixin Liu Cc: "H.

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 17:58:34 +0100

liveupdate: luo_session: add sessions supportIntroduce concept of "Live Update Sessions" within the LUO framework. LUOsessions provide a mechanism to group and manage `struct file *` instances(representing file descriptors) that need to be preserved across akexec-based live update.Each session is identified by a unique name and acts as a container forfile objects whose state is critical to a userspace workload, such as avirtual machine or a high-performance database, aiming to maintain theirfunctionality across a kernel transition.This groundwork establishes the framework for preserving file-backed stateacross kernel updates, with the actual file data preservation mechanismsto be implemented in subsequent patches.[dan.carpenter@linaro.org: fix use after free in luo_session_deserialize()] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/c5dd637d7eed3a3be48c5e9fedb881596a3b1f5a.1764163896.git.dan.carpenter@linaro.orgLink: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20251125165850.3389713-5-pasha.tatashin@soleen.comSigned-off-by: Pasha Tatashin Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Reviewed-by: Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) Reviewed-by: Pratyush Yadav Tested-by: David Matlack Cc: Aleksander Lobakin Cc: Alexander Graf Cc: Alice Ryhl Cc: Andriy Shevchenko Cc: anish kumar Cc: Anna Schumaker Cc: Bartosz Golaszewski Cc: Bjorn Helgaas Cc: Borislav Betkov Cc: Chanwoo Choi Cc: Chen Ridong Cc: Chris Li Cc: Christian Brauner Cc: Daniel Wagner Cc: Danilo Krummrich Cc: Dan Williams Cc: David Hildenbrand Cc: David Jeffery Cc: David Rientjes Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Guixin Liu Cc: "H.
