+#ifdef CONFIG_MIGRATION
+static int shmem_migrate_page(struct address_space *mapping,
+			      struct page *newpage, struct page *page,
+			      enum migrate_mode mode)
+{
+	struct inode *inode = mapping->host;
+	struct shmem_inode_info *info = SHMEM_I(inode);
+
+	if (info->memfile_node.flags & MEMFILE_F_UNMOVABLE)
+		return -EOPNOTSUPP;
+	return migrate_page(mapping, newpage, page, mode);

Wondering how well page migrate would work for private pages
on shmem memfd based backend?

  From high level:
    - KVM unset MEMFILE_F_UNMOVABLE bit to indicate it capable of
      migrating a page.
    - Introduce new 'migrate' callback(s) to memfile_notifier_ops for KVM
      to register.
    - The callback is hooked to migrate_page() here.
    - Once page migration requested, shmem calls into the 'migrate'
      callback(s) to perform additional steps for encrypted memory (For
      TDX we will call TDH.MEM.PAGE.RELOCATE).

Yes, that would require additional (protocol specific) handling for private
pages. Was trying to find where "MEMFILE_F_UNMOVABLE" flag is set currently?

It's set with memfile_register_notifier() in patch 13.

o.k.

Thanks,

Pankaj
