Subject: [PATCH RFC v3 07/43] KVM: Introduce KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 06:12:46 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260313-gmem-inplace-conversion-v3-7-5fc12a70ec89@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260313-gmem-inplace-conversion-v3-0-5fc12a70ec89@google.com>
Introduce a "version 2" of KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES to support returning
information back to userspace.
This new ioctl and structure will, in a later patch, be shared as a
guest_memfd ioctl, where the padding in the new kvm_memory_attributes2
structure will be for writing the response from the guest_memfd ioctl to
userspace.
A new ioctl is necessary for these reasons:
1. KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES is currently a write-only ioctl and does not
allow userspace to read fields. There's nothing in code (yet?) that
validates this, but using _IOWR for consistency would be prudent.
2. KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES, when used as a guest_memfd ioctl, will need
an additional field to provide userspace with more error details.
Alternatively, a completely new ioctl could be defined, unrelated to
KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES, but using the same ioctl number and struct for
the vm and guest_memfd ioctls streamlines the interface for userspace. In
addition, any memory attributes, implemented on the vm or guest_memfd
ioctl, can be easily shared with the other.
Add KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 to indicate that struct
kvm_memory_attributes2 exists and can be used either with
KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 via the vm or guest_memfd ioctl.
Since KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 is not limited to be used only with the vm
ioctl, return 1 for KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 as long as struct
kvm_memory_attributes2 and KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 can be
used. KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES must still be used to actually get valid
attributes.
Handle KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 and return 1 regardless of
CONFIG_KVM_VM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES, since KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 is not
limited to a vm ioctl and can also be used with the guest_memfd ioctl.
