[PATCH RFC v5 46/53] KVM: selftests: Provide function to look up guest_memfd details from gpa

Ackerley Tng via B4 Relay
2026-04-28T23:25:21Z

Introduce a new helper, kvm_gpa_to_guest_memfd(), to find the
guest_memfd-related details of a memory region that contains a given guest
physical address (GPA).

The function returns the file descriptor for the memfd, the offset into
the file that corresponds to the GPA, and the number of bytes remaining
in the region from that GPA.

kvm_gpa_to_guest_memfd() was factored out from vm_guest_mem_fallocate();
refactor vm_guest_mem_fallocate() to use the new helper.
