Subject: [PATCH v6 14/20] liveupdate: luo_file: add private argument to store runtime state
Date: Sat, 15 Nov 2025 18:34:00 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251115233409.768044-15-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251115233409.768044-1-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com>
From: Pratyush Yadav <pratyush@kernel.org>
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.
