Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] memfd_luo: keep memfd frozen until finish
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 18:58:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110175855.2437084-1-pratyush@kernel.org> (raw)

From: "Pratyush Yadav (Google)" <pratyush@kernel.org>

Hi,

This series keeps a retrieved memfd frozen until finish. The main
motivation is to let dependents like iommufd have a chance to acquire a
reference. It also fits conceptually: finish is the point when the file
should be back to "normal".

Patch 1 allows keeping private_data from retrieve to finish. This is
needed by memfd to keep hold of folios_ser, which it uses to give up its
pins.

Patch 2 does the main change.

The series is based on
https://lore.kernel.org/kexec/20261103172251.2348370-1-pratyush@kernel.org/T/#u.

Changes in v2:
- Replace the stale reference to the 'data' field in the struct
liveupdate_file_op_args kerneldoc with 'file', 'serialized_data' and
'private_data'. (Pasha)
- Collect Reviewed-by tags from Pasha.
- Rebase on the latest liveupdate/next.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20261103181916.2462825-1-pratyush@kernel.org/

Regards,
Pratyush Yadav
