Subject: [POC PATCH 1/5] KVM: selftests: Initialize guest_memfd with INIT_SHARED
Date: Thu,  7 May 2026 13:34:22 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47758a2b79c4bc570a17c9216929693953bdf5a0.1778185936.git.ackerleytng@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1778185936.git.ackerleytng@google.com>

Initialize guest_memfd with INIT_SHARED for VM types that require
guest_memfd.

Memory in the first memslot is used by the selftest framework to load
code, page tables, interrupt descriptor tables, and basically everything
the selftest needs to run. The selftest framework sets all of these up
assuming that the memory in the memslot can be written to from the
host. Align with that behavior by initializing guest_memfd as shared so
that all the writes from the host are permitted.

guest_memfd memory can later be marked private if necessary by CoCo
platform-specific initialization functions.
