charset="UTF-8" Here's a second revision of guest_memfd In-place conversion support. In this version, other than addressing comments from RFCv1 [1], the largest change is that guest_memfd now does not avoid participation in LRU; it participates in LRU by joining the unevictable list (no change from before this series). While checking for elevated refcounts during shared to private conversions, guest_memfd will now do an lru_add_drain_all() if elevated refcounts were found, before concluding that there are true users of the shared folio and erroring out. I'd still like feedback on these points, if any: 1. Having private/shared status stored in a maple tree (Thanks Michael for your support of using maple trees over xarrays for performance! [5]). 2. Having a new guest_memfd ioctl (not a vm ioctl) that performs conversions. 3. Using ioctls/structs/input attribute similar to the existing vm ioctl KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES to perform conversions. 4. Storing requested attributes directly in the maple tree. 5. Using a KVM module-wide param to toggle between setting memory attributes via vm and guest_memfd ioctls (making them mututally exclusive - a single loaded KVM module can only do one of the two.). This series is based on kvm/next as at 2026-01-21, and here's the tree for your convenience: https://github.com/googleprodkernel/linux-cc/commits/guest_memfd-inplace-conversion-v2 The "Don't set FGP_ACCESSED when getting folios" patch from RFCv1 is still useful but no longer related to conversion, and was posted separately [6]. Older series: + RFCv1 is at [1] + Previous versions of this feature, part of other series, are available at [2][3][4].
