Subject: [PATCH v2 10/19] system/memory: Default to guest_memfd for RAM for in-place conversion
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2026 15:48:30 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908205236.838281-11-michael.roth@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260908205236.838281-1-michael.roth@amd.com>
memory_region_init_ram_guest_memfd_private() is called in some cases
(legacy BIOS regions / IGVM regions) to allocate a new RAM region with a
guest_memfd FD under the covers to handle private memory since the GPA
range can be converted between shared/private guest RAM.
When in-place conversion is enabled, the conversions happen with the
guest_memfd inode itself, so the same inode must be used for both shared
and private memory. Handle this accordingly when convert-in-place=true.
