+:Type: vm ioctl
+:Parameters: struct kvm_guest_memfd_populate(in)

+KVM_GUEST_MEMFD_POPULATE populates guest_memfd with data provided by userspace.
+
+::
+
+ struct kvm_guest_memfd_populate {
+ __u64 gpa;
+ __u64 size;
+ void __user *from;
+ __u64 flags;
+ };

+multiple times without prior calls to fallocate(PUNCH_HOLE), subsequent calls
+will return EEXIST.
