Subject: liveupdate: skip serialization for context-preserving kexec
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5eff62b051fbdb686e885c1468301d964f2e3d66;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

liveupdate: skip serialization for context-preserving kexec

A preserve_context kexec returns to the current kernel, which is
unrelated to live update where the state is passed to the next kernel.
Skip liveupdate_reboot() in this case to avoid serialization and prevent
sessions from being left in a frozen state upon return.

Fixes: db8bed8082dc ("kexec: call liveupdate_reboot() before kexec")
