In preparation for adding more features to KVM's guest_memfd, refactor and introduce a library which abtracts some of the core-mm decisions about managing folios associated with guest memory. The goal of the refactor serves two purposes: 1. Provide an easier way to reason about memory in guest_memfd. KVM needs to support multiple confidentiality models (TDX, SEV, pKVM, Arm CCA). These models support different semantics for when the host can(not) access guest memory. An abstraction for the allocator and managing the state of pages will make it eaiser to reason about the state of folios within the guest_memfd. 2. Provide a common implementation for other users such as Gunyah [1] and guestmemfs [2]. In this initial series, I'm seeking comments for the line I'm drawing between library and user (KVM). I've not introduced new functionality in this series; the first new feature will probably be Fuad's mappability patches [3]. I've decided to only bring out the address_space from guest_memfd as it seemed the simplest approach. In the current iteration, KVM "attaches" the guestmem to the inode. I expect we'll want to provide some helpers for inode, file, and vm operations when it's relevant to mappability/accessiblity/faultability. I'd appreciate any feedback, especially on how much we should pull into the guestmem library.
