Subject: [PATCH 12/31] KVM: adjust for presence of more than one attribute
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 09:50:11 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918135030.171564-13-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260918135030.171564-1-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.
