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

Regards,
Pratyush Yadav
