9  * DOC: LUO File Descriptors
10  *
11  * LUO provides the infrastructure to preserve specific, stateful file
12  * descriptors across a kexec-based live update. The primary goal is to allow
13  * workloads, such as virtual machines using vfio, memfd, or iommufd, to
14  * retain access to their essential resources without interruption.
15  *
16  * The framework is built around a callback-based handler model and a well-
17  * defined lifecycle for each preserved file.
18  *
19  * Handler Registration:
20  * Kernel modules responsible for a specific file type (e.g., memfd, vfio)
21  * register a &struct liveupdate_file_handler. This handler provides a set of
22  * callbacks that LUO invokes at different stages of the update process, most
23  * notably:
24  *
25  *   - can_preserve(): A lightweight check to determine if the handler is
26  *     compatible with a given 'struct file'.
27  *   - preserve(): The heavyweight operation that saves the file's state and
28  *     returns an opaque u64 handle. This is typically performed while the
29  *     workload is still active to minimize the downtime during the
30  *     actual reboot transition.
31  *   - unpreserve(): Cleans up any resources allocated by .preserve(), called
32  *     if the preservation process is aborted before the reboot (i.e. session is
33  *     closed).
34  *   - freeze(): A final pre-reboot opportunity to prepare the state for kexec.
35  *     We are already in reboot syscall, and therefore userspace cannot mutate
36  *     the file anymore.
37  *   - unfreeze(): Undoes the actions of .freeze(), called if the live update
38  *     is aborted after the freeze phase.
39  *   - retrieve(): Reconstructs the file in the new kernel from the preserved
40  *     handle.
41  *   - finish(): Performs final check and cleanup in the new kernel. After
42  *     succesul finish call, LUO gives up ownership to this file.
43  *
44  * File Preservation Lifecycle happy path:
45  *
46  * 1. Preserve (Normal Operation): A userspace agent preserves files one by one
47  *    via an ioctl. For each file, luo_preserve_file() finds a compatible
48  *    handler, calls its .preserve() operation, and creates an internal &struct
49  *    luo_file to track the live state.
50  *
51  * 2. Freeze (Pre-Reboot): Just before the kexec, luo_file_freeze() is called.
52  *    It iterates through all preserved files, calls their respective .freeze()
53  *    operation, and serializes their final metadata (compatible string, token,
54  *    and data handle) into a contiguous memory block for KHO.
55  *
56  * 3. Deserialize: After kexec, luo_file_deserialize() runs when session gets
57  *    deserialized (which is when /dev/liveupdate is first opened). It reads the
58  *    serialized data from the KHO memory region and reconstructs the in-memory
59  *    list of &struct luo_file instances for the new kernel, linking them to
60  *    their corresponding handlers.
61  *
62  * 4. Retrieve (New Kernel - Userspace Ready): The userspace agent can now
63  *    restore file descriptors by providing a token. luo_retrieve_file()
64  *    searches for the matching token, calls the handler's .retrieve() op to
65  *    re-create the 'struct file', and returns a new FD. Files can be
66  *    retrieved in ANY order.
67  *
68  * 5. Finish (New Kernel - Cleanup): Once a session retrival is complete,
69  *    luo_file_finish() is called. It iterates through all files, invokes their
70  *    .finish() operations for final cleanup, and releases all associated kernel
71  *    resources.
72  *
73  * File Preservation Lifecycle unhappy paths:
74  *
75  * 1. Abort Before Reboot: If the userspace agent aborts the live update
76  *    process before calling reboot (e.g., by closing the session file
77  *    descriptor), the session's release handler calls
78  *    luo_file_unpreserve_files(). This invokes the .unpreserve() callback on
79  *    all preserved files, ensuring all allocated resources are cleaned up and
80  *    returning the system to a clean state.
81  *
82  * 2. Freeze Failure: During the reboot() syscall, if any handler's .freeze()
83  *    op fails, the .unfreeze() op is invoked on all previously *successful*
84  *    freezes to roll back their state. The reboot() syscall then returns an
85  *    error to userspace, canceling the live update.
86  *
87  * 3. Finish Failure: In the new kernel, if a handler's .finish() op fails,
88  *    the luo_file_finish() operation is aborted. LUO retains ownership of
89  *    all files within that session, including those that were not yet
90  *    processed. The userspace agent can attempt to call the finish operation
91  *    again later. If the issue cannot be resolved, these resources will be held
92  *    by LUO until the next live update cycle, at which point they will be
93  *    discarded.

127  * struct luo_file - Represents a single preserved file instance.
128  * @fh:            Pointer to the &struct liveupdate_file_handler that manages
129  *                 this type of file.
130  * @file:          Pointer to the kernel's &struct file that is being preserved.

132  *                 retrieved.
133  * @serialized_data: The opaque u64 handle to the serialized state of the file.
134  *                 This handle is passed back to the handler's .freeze(),
135  *                 .retrieve(), and .finish() callbacks, allowing it to track
136  *                 and update its serialized state across phases.
137  * @private_data:  Pointer to the private data for the file used to hold runtime
138  *                 state that is not preserved. Set by the handler's .preserve()
139  *                 callback, and must be freed in the handler's .unpreserve()
140  *                 callback.
141  * @retrieve_status: Status code indicating whether a user/kernel in the new kernel has
142  *                 successfully called retrieve() on this file. This prevents
143  *                 multiple retrieval attempts. A value of 0 means a retrieve()
144  *                 has not been attempted, a positive value means the retrieve()
145  *                 was successful, and a negative value means the retrieve()
146  *                 failed, and the value is the error code of the call.
147  * @mutex:         A mutex that protects the fields of this specific instance
148  *                 (e.g., @retrieved, @file), ensuring that operations like
149  *                 retrieving or finishing a file are atomic.
150  * @list:          The list_head linking this instance into its parent
151  *                 file_set's list of preserved files.
152  * @token:         The user-provided unique token used to identify this file.
153  *
154  * This structure is the core in-kernel representation of a single file being
155  * managed through a live update. An instance is created by luo_preserve_file()
156  * to link a 'struct file' to its corresponding handler, a user-provided token,
157  * and the serialized state handle returned by the handler's .preserve()
158  * operation.
159  *
160  * These instances are tracked in a per-file_set list. The @serialized_data
161  * field, which holds a handle to the file's serialized state, may be updated
162  * during the .freeze() callback before being serialized for the next kernel.
163  * After reboot, these structures are recreated by luo_file_deserialize() and
164  * are finally cleaned up by luo_file_finish().

237  * unpreserved or successfully finished in the next kernel, preventing the file
238  * from being prematurely destroyed.
239  *
240  * This function orchestrates the first phase of preserving a file. It performs
241  * the following steps:
242  *
243  * 1. Validates that the @token is not already in use within the file_set.
244  * 2. Ensures the file_set's memory for files serialization is allocated
245  *    (allocates if needed).
246  * 3. Iterates through registered handlers, calling can_preserve() to find one
247  *    compatible with the given @fd.
248  * 4. Calls the handler's .preserve() operation, which saves the file's state
249  *    and returns an opaque private data handle.
250  * 5. Adds the new instance to the file_set's internal list.
251  *
252  * On success, LUO takes a reference to the 'struct file' and considers it
253  * under its management until it is unpreserved or finished.
254  *
255  * In case of any failure, all intermediate allocations (file reference, memory
256  * for the 'luo_file' struct, etc.) are cleaned up before returning an error.
257  *
258  * Context: Can be called from an ioctl handler during normal system operation.
259  * Return: 0 on success. Returns a negative errno on failure:
260  *         -EEXIST if the token is already used.
261  *         -EBUSY if the file descriptor is already preserved by another session.
262  *         -EBADF if the file descriptor is invalid.
263  *         -ENOSPC if the file_set is full.
264  *         -ENOENT if no compatible handler is found.
265  *         -ENOMEM on memory allocation failure.
266  *         Other erros might be returned by .preserve().

465  * kernel transitions to the new image via kexec. Its purpose is to perform the
466  * final preparation and serialization of all preserved files in the file_set.
467  *
468  * It iterates through each preserved file in FIFO order (the order of
469  * preservation) and performs two main actions:
470  *
471  * 1. Freezes the File: It calls the handler's .freeze() callback for each
472  *    file. This gives the handler a final opportunity to quiesce the device or
473  *    prepare its state for the upcoming reboot. The handler may update its
474  *    private data handle during this step.
475  *
476  * 2. Serializes Metadata: After a successful freeze, it copies the final file
477  *    metadata—the handler's compatible string, the user token, and the final
478  *    private data handle—into the pre-allocated contiguous memory buffer
479  *    (file_set->files) that will be handed over to the next kernel via KHO.
480  *
481  * Error Handling (Rollback):
482  * This function is atomic. If any handler's .freeze() operation fails, the
483  * entire live update is aborted. The __luo_file_unfreeze() helper is
484  * immediately called to invoke the .unfreeze() op on all files that were
485  * successfully frozen before the point of failure, rolling them back to a
486  * running state. The function then returns an error, causing the reboot()
487  * syscall to fail.
488  *
489  * Context: Called only from the liveupdate_reboot() path.
490  * Return: 0 on success, or a negative errno on failure.
