Subject: [PATCH v10 12/41] KVM: guest_memfd: Call arch make_shared callback for to-shared conversion
Date: Fri, 07 Aug 2026 14:52:51 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807-gmem-inplace-conversion-v10-12-2fc18ee6d3ba@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260807-gmem-inplace-conversion-v10-0-2fc18ee6d3ba@google.com>

From: Ackerley Tng <ackerleytng@google.com>

When memory in guest_memfd is converted from private to shared, the
platform-specific state associated with the guest-private pages must be
invalidated or cleaned up.

Iterate over the folios in the affected range and call the
kvm_arch_gmem_make_shared() hook for each PFN range. This allows
architectures to update hardware metadata or encryption states to
transition pages to the shared state.

Invoke this helper after indicating to KVM's mmu code that an invalidation
is in progress to stop in-flight page faults from succeeding.

Omit support for calling the arch hook to make private, since SNP, the only
implementer of the arch make-private hook today, would actually prefer
making private only just before faulting memory into the NPTs.

Calling the make-private arch hook would require iterating both bindings
and the filemap to find the intersection of bindings and allocated
folios. On top of that, SNP would need to figure out whether to actually
make private based on whether the memory is about the be faulted, or
whether it is a conversion.

This does leak SNP-specific details into guest_memfd (as in, why only
make-shared during conversions but not make-private?), but the additional
complexity is not worth taking on until guest_memfd has a user actually
requiring an arch make-private call.
