Subject: [PATCH v3 2/9] mm: split AS_UNMOVABLE back out of AS_INACCESSIBLE
Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2026 06:40:31 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805-shivank-gmem-migrate-v3-2-00d8bdec4e1d@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260805-shivank-gmem-migrate-v3-0-00d8bdec4e1d@amd.com>

Commit 27e6a24a4cf3 ("mm, virt: merge AS_UNMOVABLE and AS_INACCESSIBLE")
folded the two flags into one, on the grounds that guest_memfd was the
only user and always set both. But the two flags were added for
different reasons and guard different things:

  AS_UNMOVABLE (0003e2a41468) marks a mapping whose folios cannot be
  migrated.

  AS_INACCESSIBLE (c72ceafbd12c) marks a mapping whose contents must
  not be directly R/W accessed. Its only job is to stop
  truncate_inode_partial_folio() from zeroing the folio.

The merge assumed unmovable and inaccessible were the same thing.
This cannot express a mapping that is inaccessible yet still movable,
which is exactly what guest_memfd wants.

Reintroduce AS_UNMOVABLE and restore the original split: truncate keeps
checking AS_INACCESSIBLE, while migration and compaction go back to
checking AS_UNMOVABLE.

Currently guest_memfd sets both, so the resulting flags and behaviour
are unchanged. Preparatory change to support folio migration for
non-confidential guest_memfd VMs.
