Subject: [PATCHv7 06/13] kexec_file: Chain the stages into a pipeline
Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2026 09:43:55 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260322014402.8815-7-piliu@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260322014402.8815-1-piliu@redhat.com>
Images may consist of multiple layers, each with a distinct format. For
example, an AArch64 UKI image typically embeds a zboot image in the
.linux section. The parser therefore determines whether its output
should be forwarded to the next stage.
Intermediate results are stored in next_parsing_buf and then promoted to
parsing_buf for the subsequent stage.
