Right: the memory has no struct page and is deliberately not mapped in the host, so there is no VMA to hand to KVM. I'll post a new version of this series. It drops get_phys(), the ranged invalidation and the guest_memfd dma-buf import (patches 2-5), and it does not touch drivers/dma-buf, as you suggested in the PAL discussion: https://lore.kernel.org/all/c413710b-4c28-4ed8-88ec-aeb8c4482011@amd.com/ KVM gets its frames through the KVM-private guest_memfd provider interface from David's series. iommufd gets them through a private interface with the exporter, as it already does for vfio-pci. The new version adds a small registry in iommufd for that, which replaces the symbol_get() of the sample in David's series. The dma-buf is then only the handle and the existing revoke. Thanks, Fred
