/**
 * DOC: LUO File Descriptors
 *
 * LUO provides the infrastructure to preserve specific, stateful file
 * descriptors across a kexec-based live update. The primary goal is to allow
 * workloads, such as virtual machines using vfio, memfd, or iommufd, to
 * retain access to their essential resources without interruption.
 *
 * The framework is built around a callback-based handler model and a well-
 * defined lifecycle for each preserved file.
 *
 * Handler Registration:
 * Kernel modules responsible for a specific file type (e.g., memfd, vfio)
 * register a &struct liveupdate_file_handler. This handler provides a set of
 * callbacks that LUO invokes at different stages of the update process, most
 * notably:
 *
 *   - can_preserve(): A lightweight check to determine if the handler is
 *     compatible with a given 'struct file'.
 *   - preserve(): The heavyweight operation that saves the file's state and
 *     returns an opaque u64 handle. This is typically performed while the
 *     workload is still active to minimize the downtime during the
 *     actual reboot transition.
 *   - unpreserve(): Cleans up any resources allocated by .preserve(), called
 *     if the preservation process is aborted before the reboot (i.e. session is
 *     closed).
 *   - freeze(): A final pre-reboot opportunity to prepare the state for kexec.
 *     We are already in reboot syscall, and therefore userspace cannot mutate
 *     the file anymore.
 *   - unfreeze(): Undoes the actions of .freeze(), called if the live update
 *     is aborted after the freeze phase.
 *   - retrieve(): Reconstructs the file in the new kernel from the preserved
 *     handle.
 *   - finish(): Performs final check and cleanup in the new kernel. After
 *     succesul finish call, LUO gives up ownership to this file.
 *
 * File Preservation Lifecycle happy path:
 *
 * 1. Preserve (Normal Operation): A userspace agent preserves files one by one
 *    via an ioctl. For each file, luo_preserve_file() finds a compatible
 *    handler, calls its .preserve() operation, and creates an internal &struct
 *    luo_file to track the live state.
 *
 * 2. Freeze (Pre-Reboot): Just before the kexec, luo_file_freeze() is called.
 *    It iterates through all preserved files, calls their respective .freeze()
 *    operation, and serializes their final metadata (compatible string, token,
 *    and data handle) into a contiguous memory block for KHO.
 *
 * 3. Deserialize: After kexec, luo_file_deserialize() runs when session gets
 *    deserialized (which is when /dev/liveupdate is first opened). It reads the
 *    serialized data from the KHO memory region and reconstructs the in-memory
 *    list of &struct luo_file instances for the new kernel, linking them to
 *    their corresponding handlers.
 *
 * 4. Retrieve (New Kernel - Userspace Ready): The userspace agent can now
 *    restore file descriptors by providing a token. luo_retrieve_file()
 *    searches for the matching token, calls the handler's .retrieve() op to
 *    re-create the 'struct file', and returns a new FD. Files can be
 *    retrieved in ANY order.
 *
 * 5. Finish (New Kernel - Cleanup): Once a session retrival is complete,
 *    luo_file_finish() is called. It iterates through all files, invokes their
 *    .finish() operations for final cleanup, and releases all associated kernel
 *    resources.
 *
 * File Preservation Lifecycle unhappy paths:
 *
 * 1. Abort Before Reboot: If the userspace agent aborts the live update
 *    process before calling reboot (e.g., by closing the session file
 *    descriptor), the session's release handler calls
 *    luo_file_unpreserve_files(). This invokes the .unpreserve() callback on
 *    all preserved files, ensuring all allocated resources are cleaned up and
 *    returning the system to a clean state.
 *
 * 2. Freeze Failure: During the reboot() syscall, if any handler's .freeze()
 *    op fails, the .unfreeze() op is invoked on all previously *successful*
 *    freezes to roll back their state. The reboot() syscall then returns an
 *    error to userspace, canceling the live update.
 *
 * 3. Finish Failure: In the new kernel, if a handler's .finish() op fails,
 *    the luo_file_finish() operation is aborted. LUO retains ownership of
 *    all files within that session, including those that were not yet
 *    processed. The userspace agent can attempt to call the finish operation
 *    again later. If the issue cannot be resolved, these resources will be held
 *    by LUO until the next live update cycle, at which point they will be
 *    discarded.

 * struct luo_file - Represents a single preserved file instance.
 * @fh:            Pointer to the &struct liveupdate_file_handler that manages
 *                 this type of file.
 * @file:          Pointer to the kernel's &struct file that is being preserved.
 *                 This is NULL in the new kernel until the file is successfully
 *                 retrieved.
 * @serialized_data: The opaque u64 handle to the serialized state of the file.
 *                 This handle is passed back to the handler's .freeze(),
 *                 .retrieve(), and .finish() callbacks, allowing it to track
 *                 and update its serialized state across phases.
 * @private_data:  Pointer to the private data for the file used to hold runtime
 *                 state that is not preserved. Set by the handler's .preserve()
 *                 callback, and must be freed in the handler's .unpreserve()
 *                 callback.
 * @retrieved:     A flag indicating whether a user/kernel in the new kernel has
 *                 successfully called retrieve() on this file. This prevents
 *                 multiple retrieval attempts.
 * @mutex:         A mutex that protects the fields of this specific instance
 *                 (e.g., @retrieved, @file), ensuring that operations like
 *                 retrieving or finishing a file are atomic.
 * @list:          The list_head linking this instance into its parent
 *                 file_set's list of preserved files.
 * @token:         The user-provided unique token used to identify this file.
 *
 * This structure is the core in-kernel representation of a single file being
 * managed through a live update. An instance is created by luo_preserve_file()
 * to link a 'struct file' to its corresponding handler, a user-provided token,
 * and the serialized state handle returned by the handler's .preserve()
 * operation.
 *
 * These instances are tracked in a per-file_set list. The @serialized_data
 * field, which holds a handle to the file's serialized state, may be updated
 * during the .freeze() callback before being serialized for the next kernel.
 * After reboot, these structures are recreated by luo_file_deserialize() and
 * are finally cleaned up by luo_file_finish().

 * luo_file_deserialize - Reconstructs the list of preserved files in the new kernel.
 * @file_set:     The incoming file_set to fill with deserialized data.
 * @file_set_ser: Serialized KHO file_set data from the previous kernel.
 *
 * This function is called during the early boot process of the new kernel. It
 * takes the raw, contiguous memory block of 'struct luo_file_ser' entries,
 * provided by the previous kernel, and transforms it back into a live,
 * in-memory linked list of 'struct luo_file' instances.
 *
 * For each serialized entry, it performs the following steps:
 *   1. Reads the 'compatible' string.
 *   2. Searches the global list of registered file handlers for one that
 *      matches the compatible string.
 *   3. Allocates a new 'struct luo_file'.
 *   4. Populates the new structure with the deserialized data (token, private
 *      data handle) and links it to the found handler. The 'file' pointer is
 *      initialized to NULL, as the file has not been retrieved yet.
 *   5. Adds the new 'struct luo_file' to the file_set's files_list.
 *
 * This prepares the file_set for userspace, which can later call
 * luo_retrieve_file() to restore the actual file descriptors.
 *
 * Context: Called from session deserialization.
