Subject: [PATCH v2 2/9] kvm: Detect guest-memfd flags supported
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 12:29:06 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251119172913.577392-3-peterx@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251119172913.577392-1-peterx@redhat.com>
Detect supported guest-memfd flags by the current kernel, and reject
creations of guest-memfd using invalid flags. When the cap isn't
available, then no flag is supported.
Signed-off-by: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>
