/**
 * DOC: Memfd Preservation via LUO
 *
 * Overview
 * ========
 *
 * Memory file descriptors (memfd) can be preserved over a kexec using the Live
 * Update Orchestrator (LUO) file preservation. This allows userspace to
 * transfer its memory contents to the next kernel after a kexec.
 *
 * The preservation is not intended to be transparent. Only select properties of
 * the file are preserved. All others are reset to default. The preserved
 * properties are described below.
 *
 * .. note::
 *    The LUO API is not stabilized yet, so the preserved properties of a memfd
 *    are also not stable and are subject to backwards incompatible changes.
 *
 * .. note::
 *    Currently a memfd backed by Hugetlb is not supported. Memfds created
 *    with ``MFD_HUGETLB`` will be rejected.
 *
 * Preserved Properties
 * ====================
 *
 * The following properties of the memfd are preserved across kexec:
 *
 * File Contents
 *   All data stored in the file is preserved.
 *
 * File Size
 *   The size of the file is preserved. Holes in the file are filled by
 *   allocating pages for them during preservation.
 *
 * File Position
 *   The current file position is preserved, allowing applications to continue
 *   reading/writing from their last position.
 *
 * File Status Flags
 *   memfds are always opened with ``O_RDWR`` and ``O_LARGEFILE``. This property
 *   is maintained.
 *
 * Non-Preserved Properties
 * ========================
 *
 * All properties which are not preserved must be assumed to be reset to
 * default. This section describes some of those properties which may be more of
 * note.
 *
 * ``FD_CLOEXEC`` flag
 *   A memfd can be created with the ``MFD_CLOEXEC`` flag that sets the
 *   ``FD_CLOEXEC`` on the file. This flag is not preserved and must be set
 *   again after restore via ``fcntl()``.
 *
 * Seals
 *   File seals are not preserved. The file is unsealed on restore and if
 *   needed, must be sealed again via ``fcntl()``.
