Subject: [PATCH v4] liveupdate: fix return value on session allocation failure
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 19:37:38 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260415193738.515491-1-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <ad-xwh2Ecr3Yg270@kernel.org>

When session allocation fails during deserialization, the global 'err'
variable was not updated before returning. This caused subsequent calls
to luo_session_deserialize() to incorrectly report success.

Ensure 'err' is set to the error code from PTR_ERR(session). This
ensures that an error is correctly returned to userspace when it
attempts to open /dev/liveupdate in the new kernel if deserialization
failed.
