    Description:
    Recent times have seen a lot of effort put into the implementation of the kexec handover and live update orchestrator features in the Linux kernel.
    But that work is not yet complete. At the
    2026 Linux Storage,
    Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit , Pratyush Yadav led a memory-management-track session on adding the ability to preserve hugetlbfs -provided
    memory during the live-update process.
