Hi Sean,

I'd like to propose the following topic for the next available slot:

  "Finalizing internal guest_memfd APIs needed for SNP (TDX?) upstreaming"

There's 2 existing interfaces, gmem_prepare, gmem_invalidate, that are
needed by the current SNP patches, and there's some additional background
about the design decisions here:

  https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20231016115028.996656-1-michael.roth@amd.com/

There's also another gmem interface that you recently proposed for handling
setting up the initial launch image of SNP guests here that seems like it
would have a lot of potential overlap with how gmem_prepare is implemented:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/ZZ67oJwzAsSvui5U@google.com/

I'd like to try to get some clarity on what these should look like in order
to be considered acceptable for upstreaming of SNP, and potentially any
considerations that need to be taken into account for other users like
TDX/pKVM/etc.

Thanks,

Mike
