Subject: [RFC PATCH v5 01/16] KVM: guest_memfd: Add a handle for provider PFNs
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 13:11:05 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261112074120.1570072-2-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261112074120.1570072-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org>
Add an MMIO PFN flag, separate from KVM memory attributes.
Add struct guest_memfd_handle to hold a PFN, its attributes, the order
of the contiguous range and an optional folio reference. Later patches
use this handle for both folio and PFN providers.
