Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] KVM: guest_memfd: Fix binding bugs
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2026 17:43:38 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904004342.3162959-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
Fix guest_memfd bugs related to binding to a memslot:
- Handle errors when inserting into guest_memfd's binding xarray, e.g. to
do the right thing on ENOMEM.
- Bind a memslot only once the memslot is fully prepared (because it becomes
reachable/visible once its inserted into gmem's bindings arraxy).
Patch 4 is a related cleanup to remove a superflous WRITE_ONCE() (unwinding
the slot update on insertion failure isn't an option if the slot is observable,
i.e. if the WRITE_ONCE() is actually necessary).
v3:
- Nullify bindings on error before dropping invalidat lock. [Sashiko x3]
v2:
- https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260902182020.2615443-1-seanjc@google.com
- Fix the binding-too-early bug. [Sashiko]
- Explicitly zero the bindings entry on failure to ensure there are no
partial entries. [Sashiko]
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260826165154.766699-2-seanjc@google.com

memslot is ready
