[RFC V1 PATCH 0/5] selftests: KVM: selftests for fd-based approach of supporting private memory

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series implements selftests targeting the feature floated by Chao
via:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20220310140911.50924-1-chao.p.peng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Below changes aim to test the fd based approach for guest private memory
in context of normal (non-confidential) VMs executing on non-confidential
platforms.

Confidential platforms along with the confidentiality aware software
stack support a notion of private/shared accesses from the confidential
VMs.
Generally, a bit in the GPA conveys the shared/private-ness of the
access. Non-confidential platforms don't have a notion of private or
shared accesses from the guest VMs. To support this notion,
KVM_HC_MAP_GPA_RANGE
is modified to allow marking an access from a VM within a GPA range as
always shared or private. Any suggestions regarding implementing this ioctl
alternatively/cleanly are appreciated.

priv_memfd_test.c file adds a suite of two basic selftests to access private
memory from the guest via private/shared access and checking if the contents
can be leaked to/accessed by vmm via shared memory view.

Test results:
1) PMPAT - PrivateMemoryPrivateAccess test passes
2) PMSAT - PrivateMemorySharedAccess test fails currently and needs more
analysis to understand the reason of failure.

Important - Below patch is needed to ensure host kernel crash is avoided while
running these tests:

Note that this series is dependent on Chao's v5 patches mentioned above
applied on top of 5.17.
