Subject: [PATCH v11 21/46] KVM: TDX: Make source page optional for KVM_TDX_INIT_MEM_REGION
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 09:18:19 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826-gmem-inplace-conversion-v11-21-0a15d8a799aa@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260826-gmem-inplace-conversion-v11-0-0a15d8a799aa@google.com>
Update tdx_gmem_post_populate() to handle cases where userspace requests
"no source page". To handle "no source page", populate (perform
TDH.MEM.PAGE.ADD) using memory in-place at the target PFN.
Allow "no source page" only when gmem_in_place_conversion is enabled,
because retroactively adding support for out-of-place conversion would mean
requiring a userspace update for a feature that's being deprecated.
Also, KVM supporting "no source page" without in-place conversion would
effectively be an obscure zero-page optimization that relies on the page
being zeroed when it is allocated by guest_memfd.
Rejecting "no source page" without in-place conversion scenario is valuable
for KVM developers since it helps newcomers understand what exactly is and
isn't possible.
