Subject: [PATCH RFC v3 19/43] KVM: selftests: Test using guest_memfd for guest private memory
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 06:12:58 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260313-gmem-inplace-conversion-v3-19-5fc12a70ec89@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260313-gmem-inplace-conversion-v3-0-5fc12a70ec89@google.com>
Add a selftest to verify that a memory region backed by a guest_memfd
can be used as private guest memory. This is a key use case for
confidential computing guests where the host should not have access to the
guest's memory contents.
The new test, test_guest_private_mem, creates a protected VM, maps a
guest_memfd into the guest's address space, and then marks the region as
private. The guest code then writes to and reads from this private memory
region to verify it is accessible.
To better distinguish between the test cases, rename the existing test
that verifies shared host/guest access from test_guest_memfd_guest to
test_guest_shared_mem.
