Subject: [PATCH v2 11/28] KVM: adjust for presence of more than one attribute
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 04:15:26 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918081543.139871-12-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260918081543.139871-1-pbonzini@redhat.com>
Remove or adjust code that assumed that the only valid attribute was
KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE, in preparation for the introduction of RWX
memory attributes.
In particular, the optimization in kvm_range_has_memory_attributes
simply is not valid if attrs == 0 but some of the attributes are being
ignored. The WARNs in arch/x86/kvm/mmu/mmu.c are just a duplicate of
checking kvm_supported_mem_attributes() during the ioctl, so drop it.
