KHO allows clients to preserve memory regions at any point before the KHO state is finalized. The finalization process itself involves KHO performing its own actions, such as serializing the overall preserved memory map. If this finalization process is aborted, the current implementation destroys KHO's internal memory tracking structures (`kho_out.ser.track.orders`). This behavior effectively unpreserves all memory from KHO's perspective, regardless of whether those preservations were made by clients before the finalization attempt or by KHO itself during finalization. This premature unpreservation is incorrect. An abort of the finalization process should only undo actions taken by KHO as part of that specific finalization attempt. Individual memory regions preserved by clients prior to finalization should remain preserved, as their lifecycle is managed by the clients themselves. These clients might still need to call kho_unpreserve_folio() or kho_unpreserve_phys() based on their own logic, even after a KHO finalization attempt is aborted.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
