Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] liveupdate: prevent double preservation
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 16:39:40 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326163943.574070-1-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com> (raw)

Currently, LUO does not prevent the same file from being managed twice
across different active sessions.

Because LUO preserves files of absolutely different types: memfd, and
upcoming vfiofd [1], iommufd [2], guestmefd (and possible kvmfd/cpufd).
There is no common private data or guarantee on how to prevent that the
same file is not preserved twice beside using inode or some slower and
expensive method like hashtables.

Changelog:
v4:
 - Added get_id() callback to struct liveupdate_file_ops to allow handlers
   to define unique identification for files (e.g. via inode).
 - Implemented get_id() for memfd_luo to use the inode pointer.

  memfd: implement get_id for memfd_luo
