Subject: [PATCH v3 06/10] liveupdate: Remove luo_session_quiesce()
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 03:33:30 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327033335.696621-7-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260327033335.696621-1-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com>
Now that FLB module references are handled dynamically during active
sessions, we can safely remove the luo_session_quiesce() and
luo_session_resume() mechanism.
