[RFC PATCH v4 00/14] KVM: Restricted mapping of guest_memfd at the host and arm64 support

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

 



This series adds restricted mmap() support to guest_memfd, as
well as support for guest_memfd on arm64. It is based on Linux
6.13-rc2.  Please refer to v3 for the context [1].

Main changes since v3:
- Added a new folio type for guestmem, used to register a
  callback when a folio's reference count reaches 0 (Matthew
  Wilcox, DavidH) [2]
- Introduce new mappability states for folios, where a folio can
be mappable by the host and the guest, only the guest, or by no
one (transient state)
- Rebased on Linux 6.13-rc2
- Refactoring and tidying up

Cheers,
