Subject: [PATCH v4 09/38] KVM: arm64: Prevent unsupported memslot operations on protected VMs
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 14:00:08 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327140039.21228-10-will@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260327140039.21228-1-will@kernel.org>
Protected VMs do not support deleting or moving memslots after first
run nor do they support read-only or dirty logging.
Return -EPERM to userspace if such an operation is attempted.
