Subject: [PATCH v10 15/41] KVM: guest_memfd: Handle lru_add fbatch refcounts during conversion safety check
Date: Fri, 07 Aug 2026 14:52:54 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807-gmem-inplace-conversion-v10-15-2fc18ee6d3ba@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260807-gmem-inplace-conversion-v10-0-2fc18ee6d3ba@google.com>

From: Ackerley Tng <ackerleytng@google.com>

A guest_memfd folio is safe for conversion if guest_memfd holds the last
references on it. Any other references on the folio may indicate another
user, and guest_memfd cannot convert it to private if there may be an
existing host user.

A folio will have extra refcounts if it is present in a per-CPU lru_add
fbatch. guest_memfd does not actually participate in LRU, but
freshly-allocated folios are still added to the lru_add fbatch for batch
LRU statistics processing.

This one known "usage" of the folio is handled by draining the lru_add
fbatch. After draining, if the refcount is still elevated, then there's
truly some other user of this page, and the page is not safe for
conversion.

If the page may be dma pinned, DMA is obviously using it and hence not safe
for conversions. If the page is still mapped after guest_memfd tried to
unmap it earlier in the conversion process, it is also obviously not safe
for conversion. Exit early to avoid unnecessary draining in these 2 cases.

Provide a drain status to only drain once ever while processing a batch of
folios.
