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.

* 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.
|
|
|
|
|
*
|
2026-04-23 13:56:48 +01:00
|
|
|
* Seals
|
|
|
|
|
* File seals set on the memfd are preserved and re-applied on restore.
|
|
|
|
|
* Only seals known to this LUO version (see ``MEMFD_LUO_ALL_SEALS``) may
|
|
|
|
|
* be present; preservation fails with ``-EOPNOTSUPP`` otherwise.

mm: memfd_luo: allow preserving memfd
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.

mm: memfd_luo: always make all folios uptodate
Patch series "mm: memfd_luo: fixes for folio flag preservation".
This series contains a couple fixes for flag preservation for memfd live
update.
The first patch fixes memfd preservation when fallocate() was used to
pre-allocate some pages. For these memfds, all the writes to fallocated
pages touched after preserve were lost.
The second patch fixes dirty flag tracking. If the dirty flag is not
tracked correctly, the next kernel might incorrectly reclaim some folios
under memory pressure, losing user data. This is a theoretical bug that I
observed when reading the code, and haven't been able to reproduce it.
This patch (of 2):
When a folio is added to a shmem file via fallocate, it is not zeroed on
allocation. This is done as a performance optimization since it is
possible the folio will never end up being used at all. When the folio is
used, shmem checks for the uptodate flag, and if absent, zeroes the folio
(and sets the flag) before returning to user.
With LUO, the flags of each folio are saved at preserve time. It is
possible to have a memfd with some folios fallocated but not uptodate.
For those, the uptodate flag doesn't get saved. The folios might later
end up being used and become uptodate. They would get passed to the next
kernel via KHO correctly since they did get preserved. But they won't
have the MEMFD_LUO_FOLIO_UPTODATE flag.
This means that when the memfd is retrieved, the folios will be added to
the shmem file without the uptodate flag. They will be zeroed before
first use, losing the data in those folios.
Since we take a big performance hit in allocating, zeroing, and pinning
all folios at prepare time anyway, take some more and zero all
non-uptodate ones too.
Later when there is a stronger need to make prepare faster, this can be
optimized.
To avoid racing with another uptodate operation, take the folio lock.

mm: memfd_luo: allow preserving memfd
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.

mm: memfd_luo: allow preserving memfd
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.

liveupdate: luo_file: remember retrieve() status
LUO keeps track of successful retrieve attempts on a LUO file. It does so
to avoid multiple retrievals of the same file. Multiple retrievals cause
problems because once the file is retrieved, the serialized data
structures are likely freed and the file is likely in a very different
state from what the code expects.
The retrieve boolean in struct luo_file keeps track of this, and is passed
to the finish callback so it knows what work was already done and what it
has left to do.
All this works well when retrieve succeeds. When it fails,
luo_retrieve_file() returns the error immediately, without ever storing
anywhere that a retrieve was attempted or what its error code was. This
results in an errored LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_RETRIEVE_FD ioctl to userspace,
but nothing prevents it from trying this again.
The retry is problematic for much of the same reasons listed above. The
file is likely in a very different state than what the retrieve logic
normally expects, and it might even have freed some serialization data
structures. Attempting to access them or free them again is going to
break things.
For example, if memfd managed to restore 8 of its 10 folios, but fails on
the 9th, a subsequent retrieve attempt will try to call
kho_restore_folio() on the first folio again, and that will fail with a
warning since it is an invalid operation.
Apart from the retry, finish() also breaks. Since on failure the
retrieved bool in luo_file is never touched, the finish() call on session
close will tell the file handler that retrieve was never attempted, and it
will try to access or free the data structures that might not exist, much
in the same way as the retry attempt.
There is no sane way of attempting the retrieve again. Remember the error
retrieve returned and directly return it on a retry. Also pass this
status code to finish() so it can make the right decision on the work it
needs to do.
This is done by changing the bool to an integer. A value of 0 means
retrieve was never attempted, a positive value means it succeeded, and a
negative value means it failed and the error code is the value.

mm: memfd_luo: allow preserving memfd
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.

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.

mm: memfd_luo: allow preserving memfd
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

mm: memfd_luo: allow preserving memfd
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.

mm: memfd_luo: allow preserving memfd
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.

mm: memfd_luo: allow preserving memfd
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.
