Subject: Re: [PATCH v4 06/19] liveupdate: Don't WARN if tracking a retrieved file fails
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 00:31:11 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <sashiko-outbox-209938@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261111002358.1842967-7-dmatlack@google.com>
> Handle a failure to add a retrieved file to luo_preserved_files instead
> of triggering a WARN_ON(). Make the failure permanent, and keep the file
> until the file set is finished, like any other retrieved file. Only warn
> if the file is already tracked (-EBUSY), which would be a kernel bug,
> since a retrieved file is always a new file.
>
> xa_insert() can fail with -ENOMEM, and userspace can trigger that with
> LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_RETRIEVE_FD, so warning about it lets userspace crash
> systems with panic_on_warn.
>
> The handler has already consumed the preserved state when this happens,
> so the retrieve can't be retried. Keeping the file ensures that its
> resources are not released before the file set is finished. Finishing
> the file set then erases the file from luo_preserved_files, which does
> nothing for a file that was never added.

> Fixes: 00d0b372374f ("liveupdate: prevent double management of files")
