When launching a virtual machine, Gunyah userspace allocates memory for

It also frees memory, see below.  Why not document that?


I can mention in commit text, too.

Nice, thanks for validating that.

Nit, 2 blank lines are not needed :(

+			r = gh_vm_mem_alloc(ghvm, &region);
+		else

So if you set the size to 0 it is freed?  Wouldn't a separate ioctl make
more sense?  Where is this logic documented to userspace? >

We're following KVM convention here. The logic is documented in patch 17/26.

Thanks,
Elliot
