+
+VMM Instructions
+================
+
+This section describes the requirements, scope, conditions, and
+ordering constraints that a Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) must adhere
+to for successful preservation and retrieval of guest_memfd files
+across a Live Update Orchestrator (LUO) sequence.
+
+Scope and Limitations
+---------------------
+
+At this stage, the scope of guest_memfd preservation is restricted to:
+
+1. **Fully Shared guest_memfd**:
+   This time only fully shared guest_memfd supported. Any system that
+   supports coco vm (which uses private guest_memfd), will not support
+   the preservation.
+
+2. **Standard Page Size**:
+   Only guest_memfd backed by standard page size (``PAGE_SIZE``,
+   order-0) pages is supported. Large/huge page backing (e.g.,
+   hugetlb guest_memfd) is not supported.
+
+Any Virtual Machine (VM) whose memory is fully backed by such
+guest_memfd files can be preserved across live update.
+
+VMM Actions and Conditions during Live Update
+---------------------------------------------
+
+During the live update sequence, the kernel introduces a *freezing*
+phase for the guest_memfd inode. Freezing prevents any modifications to
+the guest_memfd page cache. Specifically, once a guest_memfd mapping is
+frozen:
+
+- Any subsequent ``fallocate`` calls on the guest_memfd file descriptor
+  will fail and return ``-EPERM``.
+- Any new page faults (guest-side or host-userspace-side) that require
+  folio allocation will fail and return ``-EPERM``.
+
+To prevent vCPUs or VMM helper threads from failing due to these
+``-EPERM`` errors, the VMM must implement one of the following
+strategies:
+
+1. **Pause the VM (Recommended)**:
+   The VMM should pause/suspend all vCPUs before invoking the
+   preservation or freezing of the VM and guest_memfd files. This
+   ensures no new page faults or memory accesses can occur while the
+   guest_memfd is frozen.
+
+2. **Handle Fault Failures**:
+   If the VM is not paused, the VMM must be prepared to handle VM
+   exits or user page fault errors resulting from the ``-EPERM``
+   failures. The VMM must take appropriate action, such as
+   immediately pausing the VM, or aborting the live update sequence
+   (by tearing down or unpreserving the live update session).
+
+Preservation and Retrieval Ordering
+-----------------------------------
+
+Preservation Order
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+There is no strict ordering requirement for initiating the
+preservation of the KVM VM file and the guest_memfd files; they are
+preserved independently. If kexec is triggered with guest_memfd
+preservation without preserving the vm file, kexec will fail.
+
+Retrieval Order
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Similarly, there is no strict ordering required for retrieving the VM
+and guest_memfd files. Any file can be retrieved at any order.
+
+If guest_memfd file is retrieved and VM file is not retrieved, and
+luo_finish is called, then vm_file will be lost and guest_memfd file
+will be hanging around.
+
+NOTE: Before Initiating the preservation/retirval, it is necessary to make
+sure that the kvm module is loaded (/dev/kvm must be available).
