Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 10:22:47 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327172248.0FA22C19423@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The patch titled
Subject: liveupdate: auto unregister FLBs on file handler unregistration
has been added to the -mm mm-new branch. Its filename is
liveupdate-auto-unregister-flbs-on-file-handler-unregistration.patch
This patch will shortly appear at
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/liveupdate-auto-unregister-flbs-on-file-handler-unregistration.patch
This patch will later appear in the mm-new branch at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
Note, mm-new is a provisional staging ground for work-in-progress
patches, and acceptance into mm-new is a notification for others take
notice and to finish up reviews. Please do not hesitate to respond to
review feedback and post updated versions to replace or incrementally
fixup patches in mm-new.
The mm-new branch of mm.git is not included in linux-next
If a few days of testing in mm-new is successful, the patch will me moved
into mm.git's mm-unstable branch, which is included in linux-next
Before you just go and hit "reply", please:
a) Consider who else should be cc'ed
b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well
c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a
reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's
*** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code ***
The -mm tree is included into linux-next via various
branches at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
and is updated there most days

Subject: liveupdate: auto unregister FLBs on file handler unregistration
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 03:33:31 +0000
To ensure that unregistration is always successful and doesn't leave
dangling resources, introduce auto-unregistration of FLBs: when a file
handler is unregistered, all FLBs associated with it are automatically
unregistered.
Introduce a new helper luo_flb_unregister_all() which unregisters all FLBs
linked to the given file handler.
