Chao, I'll work on

+ Running conversion tests for non-overlapping GPA ranges of
   same/different memslots from multiple vcpus
+ Deleting memslots with restricted memfd while guests are being
   executed
+ Installing multiple memslots with ranges within the same restricted
   mem files

this week.

Thanks Ackerley. Looks good to me.

BTW, for whom may have interest, below are the testcases I added:

Hi Chao,

While I was working on the selftests I noticed that this could perhaps
be improved:

https://github.com/chao-p/linux/blob/ddd2c92b268a2fdc6158f82a6169ad1a57f2a01d/virt/kvm/kvm_main.c#L1035

We should use a temporary variable to hold the result of fget(fd).

As it is now, if the user provides any invalide fd, like -1,
slot->restrictedmem.file would be overwritten and lost.

We cannot update slot->restrictedmem.file until after the
file_is_restrictedmem() check.

For now there isn't a big problem because kvm_restrictedmem_bind() is
only called on a new struct kvm_memory_slot, but I think this should be
changed in case the function is used elsewhere in future.

Ackerley
