Subject: [PATCH 2/2] KVM: Harden and prepare for modifying existing guest_memfd memslots
Date: Mon,  1 Dec 2025 18:03:34 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251202020334.1171351-3-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251202020334.1171351-1-seanjc@google.com>

Unbind guest_memfd memslots if KVM commits a MOVE or FLAGS_ONLY memslot
change to harden against use-after-free, and to prepare for eventually
supporting dirty logging on guest_memfd memslots, at which point
FLAGS_ONLY changes will be expected/supported.

Add two separate WARNs, once to yell if a guest_memfd memslot is moved
(which KVM is never expected to allow/support), and again if the unbind()
is triggered, to help detect uAPI goofs prior to deliberately allowing
FLAGS_ONLY changes.
