From 8def18633e8df54a05cf7d323d0df24c21b320d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pratyush Yadav Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2025 11:58:43 -0500 Subject: liveupdate: luo_file: add private argument to store runtime state MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 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.
