[PATCH v7 03/22] kexec: call liveupdate_reboot() before kexec

From: Pasha Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@soleen.com>
Date: 2025-11-22 22:24:03
Also in: linux-doc, linux-fsdevel, linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: kexec, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Baoquan He, Mike Rapoport, Pasha Tatashin, Pratyush Yadav, Linus Torvalds

Modify the kernel_kexec() to call liveupdate_reboot().

This ensures that the Live Update Orchestrator is notified just
before the kernel executes the kexec jump. The liveupdate_reboot()
function triggers the final freeze event, allowing participating
FDs perform last-minute check or state saving within the blackout
window.

If liveupdate_reboot() returns an error (indicating a failure during
LUO finalization), the kexec operation is aborted to prevent proceeding
with an inconsistent state. An error is returned to user.
