[PATCH v7 0/9] KVM: Mapping guest_memfd backed memory at the host for software protected VMs

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

 



Main changes since v6 [1]:
- Fix and simplify handling of final folio_put() callback in case
  underlying file is no longer associated with guestmem, e.g., KVM
  module unloaded (Ackerley, Vlastimil)
- Removed dependency on folio lock when not needed (Ackerley)
- Carried acks (DavidH, Vlastimil)
- Rebased on Linux 6.14-rc7

The purpose of this series is to serve as a base for _restricted_ mmap()
support for guest_memfd backed memory at the host [2]. It allows
experimentation with what that support would be like in the safe
environment of software and non-confidential VM types.

For more background and for how to test this series, please refer to v2
[3]. Note that an updated version of kvmtool that works with this series
is available here [4].

I'm done respinning the series that tracks folio sharing [5]. I'll post
that one right after this one.

Cheers,
