Subject: [PATCH v2 19/19] hostmem: Automatically select set guest-memfd=on for in-place conversion
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2026 15:48:39 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908205236.838281-20-michael.roth@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260908205236.838281-1-michael.roth@amd.com>

When in-place conversion is enabled, both the shared memory and private
memory must come from the same guest_memfd instance. Thus, the
memory-backend-memfd options must in turn correspond to a guest_memfd
instance, e.g. guest-memfd=on must be specified. Since there is no
use-case for enabling in-place conversion without setting
guest-memfd=on, just set it automatically if in-place conversion is
enabled.
