2025-11-27mm: memfd_luo: allow preserving memfdPratyush Yadav
The ability to preserve a memfd allows userspace to use KHO and LUO to transfer its memory contents to the next kernel. This is useful in many ways. For one, it can be used with IOMMUFD as the backing store for IOMMU page tables. Preserving IOMMUFD is essential for performing a hypervisor live update with passthrough devices. memfd support provides the first building block for making that possible. For another, applications with a large amount of memory that takes time to reconstruct, reboots to consume kernel upgrades can be very expensive. memfd with LUO gives those applications reboot-persistent memory that they can use to quickly save and reconstruct that state. While memfd is backed by either hugetlbfs or shmem, currently only support on shmem is added. To be more precise, support for anonymous shmem files is added. The handover to the next kernel is not transparent. All the properties of the file are not preserved; only its memory contents, position, and size. The recreated file gets the UID and GID of the task doing the restore, and the task's cgroup gets charged with the memory. Once preserved, the file cannot grow or shrink, and all its pages are pinned to avoid migrations and swapping. The file can still be read from or written to. Use vmalloc to get the buffer to hold the folios, and preserve it using kho_preserve_vmalloc(). This doesn't have the size limit.

2025-11-27liveupdate: luo_file: implement file systems callbacksPasha Tatashin
This patch implements the core mechanism for managing preserved files throughout the live update lifecycle. It provides the logic to invoke the file handler callbacks (preserve, unpreserve, freeze, unfreeze, retrieve, and finish) at the appropriate stages. During the reboot phase, luo_file_freeze() serializes the final metadata for each file (handler compatible string, token, and data handle) into a memory region preserved by KHO. In the new kernel, luo_file_deserialize() reconstructs the in-memory file list from this data, preparing the session for retrieval.

2025-11-27liveupdate: luo_session: add sessions supportPasha Tatashin
Introduce concept of "Live Update Sessions" within the LUO framework. LUO sessions provide a mechanism to group and manage `struct file *` instances (representing file descriptors) that need to be preserved across a kexec-based live update. Each session is identified by a unique name and acts as a container for file objects whose state is critical to a userspace workload, such as a virtual machine or a high-performance database, aiming to maintain their functionality across a kernel transition. This groundwork establishes the framework for preserving file-backed state across kernel updates, with the actual file data preservation mechanisms to be implemented in subsequent patches.

2025-11-27liveupdate: luo_core: integrate with KHOPasha Tatashin
Integrate the LUO with the KHO framework to enable passing LUO state across a kexec reboot. This patch implements the lifecycle integration with KHO: 1. Incoming State: During early boot (`early_initcall`), LUO checks if KHO is active. If so, it retrieves the "LUO" subtree, verifies the "luo-v1" compatibility string, and reads the `liveupdate-number` to track the update count. 2. Outgoing State: During late initialization (`late_initcall`), LUO allocates a new FDT for the next kernel, populates it with the basic header (compatible string and incremented update number), and registers it with KHO (`kho_add_subtree`). 3. Finalization: The `liveupdate_reboot()` notifier is updated to invoke `kho_finalize()`. This ensures that all memory segments marked for preservation are properly serialized before the kexec jump.
