PRESERVE_FD\nis only applicable to outgoing sessions. RETRIEVE_FD and FINISH are only\nvalid for incoming session. Calling a incoming ioctl on an outgoing\nsession is invalid and can cause file handlers to run into unexpected\nerrors.\n\nFor example, a user can create a (outgoing) session, preserve a memfd,\nand then immediately do a retrieve without doing a kexec in between.\nThis would result in memfd's retrieve handler to run. The handlers\nexpects to be called from a post-kexec context, and will try to do a\nkho_restore_vmalloc() or kho_restore_folio() to try and restore memory.\n\nKHO catches this (thanks to KHO_PAGE_MAGIC) and returns an error, but\nsince this is considered an internal error and KHO throws out a bunch of\nWARN()s.\n\nAssociate a type with each ioctl op and validate the type in\nluo_session_ioctl() before dispatching the ioctl handler to make sure\nthe op is being called for the right session type."
