The final code for this looks like : if (kvm_vm_is_protected(kvm)) { if (new && new->flags & (KVM_MEM_LOG_DIRTY_PAGES | KVM_MEM_READONLY)) { return -EPERM; } } if (kvm_vm_is_protected_pkvm(kvm)) { /* Cannot modify memslots once a pVM has run. */ if (pkvm_hyp_vm_is_created(kvm) && (change == KVM_MR_DELETE || change == KVM_MR_MOVE)) { return -EPERM; } } else if (kvm_realm_is_created(kvm)) { /* * Once the Realm is created, we cannot modify any slots that * could be providing private memory. i.e., guest_memfd backed * slots. * TODO: Handle trusted device private memory slots */ if (kvm_slot_has_gmem(old) || kvm_slot_has_gmem(new)) return -EPERM; } Of course we could invert the checks to detect vm_is_protected_pkvm() Suzuki > /* Cannot modify memslots once a pVM has run. */ > if (pkvm_hyp_vm_is_created(kvm) && > (change == KVM_MR_DELETE || change == KVM_MR_MOVE)) { >
