Subject: [PATCH v12 00/12] KVM: guest_memfd: Add NUMA mempolicy support
Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2025 15:14:08 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251007221420.344669-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
Shivank's series to add support for NUMA-aware memory placement in
guest_memfd. This is based on:
https://github.com/kvm-x86/linux.git gmem
which is an unstable topic branch that contains the guest_memfd MMAP fixes
destined for 6.18 (to avoid conflicts), and three non-KVM changes related to
mempolicy that were in previous versions of this series (I want to keep this
version KVM focused, and AFAICT there is nothing left to discuss in the prep
paches).
Once 6.18-rc1 is cut I'll turn "gmem" into a proper topic branch, rebase it,
and freeze the hashes.
v12:
- Add missing functionality to KVM selftests' existing numaif.h instead of
linking to libnuma (which appears to have caveats with -static).
- Add KVM_SYSCALL_DEFINE() infrastructure to reduce the boilerplate needed
to wrap syscalls and/or to assert that a syscall succeeds.
- Rename kvm_gmem to gmem_file, and use gmem_inode for the inode structure.
- Track flags in a gmem_inode field instead of using i_private.
- Add comments to call out subtleties in the mempolicy code (e.g. that
returning NULL for vm_operations_struct.get_policy() is important for ABI
reasons).
- Improve debugability of guest_memfd_test (I kept generating SIGBUS when
tweaking the tests).
- Test mbind() with private memory (sadly, verifying placement with
move_pages() doesn't work due to the dependency on valid page tables).
- V11: Rebase on kvm-next, remove RFC tag, use Ackerley's latest patch
and fix a rcu race bug during kvm module unload.
- V10: Rebase on top of Fuad's V17. Use latest guest_memfd inode patch
from Ackerley (with David's review comments). Use newer kmem_cache_create()
API variant with arg parameter (Vlastimil)
- v9: Rebase on top of Fuad's V13 and incorporate review comments
- v8: Rebase on top of Fuad's V12: Host mmaping for guest_memfd memory.
- v7: Use inodes to store NUMA policy instead of file [0].
- v4-v6: Current approach using shared_policy support and vm_ops (based on
suggestions from David [1] and guest_memfd bi-weekly upstream
call discussion [2]).
- v3: Introduced fbind() syscall for VMM memory-placement configuration.
- v1,v2: Extended the KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD IOCTL to pass mempolicy.
