Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 28/37] KVM: selftests: Test conversion with elevated page refcount
Date: Mon, 2 Feb 2026 14:30:06 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <69033e02150097aeb2b261ead30cd37c20d007c7.1770071243.git.ackerleytng@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1770071243.git.ackerleytng@google.com>
Add a selftest to verify that converting a shared guest_memfd page to a
private page fails if the page has an elevated reference count.
When KVM converts a shared page to a private one, it expects the page to
have a reference count equal to the reference counts taken by the
filemap. If another kernel subsystem holds a reference to the page, for
example via pin_user_pages(), the conversion must be aborted.
This test uses vmsplice to increment the refcount of a specific page. The
reference is kept on the page by not reading data out from vmsplice's
destination pipe. It then attempts to convert a range of pages, including
the page with elevated refcount, from shared to private.
The test asserts that both bulk and single-page conversion attempts
correctly fail with EAGAIN for the pinned page. After the page is unpinned,
the test verifies that subsequent conversions succeed.
