[RFC V2 PATCH 0/8] selftests: KVM: selftests for fd-based approach of supporting private memory

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

 



This v2 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.

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

Updates in V2:
1) Tests are added to exercise implicit/explicit memory conversion paths.
2) Test is added to exercise UPM feature without double memory allocation.

This series has dependency on following patches:
1) V5 series patches from Chao mentioned above.
2) https://github.com/vishals4gh/linux/commit/b9adedf777ad84af39042e9c19899600a4add68a
  - Fixes host kernel crash with current implementation
3) https://github.com/vishals4gh/linux/commit/0577e351ee36d52c1f6cdcb1b8de7aa6b5f760fe
  - 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. There is an ongoing discussion about adding support for
    software-only confidential VMs, which should replace this patch.
4) https://github.com/vishals4gh/linux/commit/8d46aea9a7d72e4b1b998066ce0dde085fb963a7
  - Temporary placeholder to be able to test memory conversion paths
    till the memory conversion exit error code is finalized.
5) https://github.com/vishals4gh/linux/commit/4c36706477c62d9416d635fa6ac4ef6484014dfc
  - Fixes GFN calculation during memory conversion path.
