Subject: [PATCH RFC v3 34/43] KVM: selftests: Update private_mem_conversions_test to mmap() guest_memfd
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 06:13:13 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260313-gmem-inplace-conversion-v3-34-5fc12a70ec89@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260313-gmem-inplace-conversion-v3-0-5fc12a70ec89@google.com>
Update the private memory conversions selftest to also test conversions
that are done "in-place" via per-guest_memfd memory attributes. In-place
conversions require the host to be able to mmap() the guest_memfd so that
the host and guest can share the same backing physical memory.
This includes several updates, that are conditioned on the system
supporting per-guest_memfd attributes (kvm_has_gmem_attributes):
1. Set up guest_memfd requesting MMAP and INIT_SHARED.
2. With in-place conversions, the host's mapping points directly to the
guest's memory. When the guest converts a region to private, host access
to that region is blocked. Update the test to expect a SIGBUS when
attempting to access the host virtual address (HVA) of private memory.
3. Use vm_mem_set_memory_attributes(), which chooses how to set memory
attributes based on whether kvm_has_gmem_attributes.
Restrict the test to using VM_MEM_SRC_SHMEM because guest_memfd's required
mmap() flags and page sizes happens to align with those of
VM_MEM_SRC_SHMEM. As long as VM_MEM_SRC_SHMEM is used for src_type,
vm_mem_add() works as intended.
