Hello, This patchset builds upon the code at https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230718234512.1690985-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx/T/. This code is available at https://github.com/googleprodkernel/linux-cc/tree/kvm-gmem-link-migrate-rfcv1. In guest_mem v11, a split file/inode model was proposed, where memslot bindings belong to the file and pages belong to the inode. This model lends itself well to having different VMs use separate files pointing to the same inode. This RFC proposes an ioctl, KVM_LINK_GUEST_MEMFD, that takes a VM and a gmem fd, and returns another gmem fd referencing a different file and associated with VM. This RFC also includes an update to KVM_CAP_VM_MOVE_ENC_CONTEXT_FROM to migrate memory context (slot->arch.lpage_info and kvm->mem_attr_array) from source to destination vm, intra-host. Intended usage of the two ioctls: 1. Source VM’s fd is passed to destination VM via unix sockets 2. Destination VM uses new ioctl KVM_LINK_GUEST_MEMFD to link source VM’s fd to a new fd. 3. Destination VM will pass new fds to KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION, which will bind the new file, pointing to the same inode that the source VM’s file points to, to memslots 4. Use KVM_CAP_VM_MOVE_ENC_CONTEXT_FROM to move kvm->mem_attr_array and slot->arch.lpage_info to the destination VM. 5. Run the destination VM as per normal Some other approaches considered were: + Using the linkat() syscall, but that requires a mount/directory for a source fd to be linked to + Using the dup() syscall, but that only duplicates the fd, and both fds point to the same file --- Ackerley Tng (11): KVM: guest_mem: Refactor out kvm_gmem_alloc_file() KVM: guest_mem: Add ioctl KVM_LINK_GUEST_MEMFD KVM: selftests: Add tests for KVM_LINK_GUEST_MEMFD ioctl KVM: selftests: Test transferring private memory to another VM KVM: x86: Refactor sev's flag migration_in_progress to kvm struct KVM: x86: Refactor common code out of sev.c KVM: x86: Refactor common migration preparation code out of sev_vm_move_enc_context_from KVM: x86: Let moving encryption context be configurable KVM: x86: Handle moving of memory context for intra-host migration KVM: selftests: Generalize migration functions from sev_migrate_tests.c KVM: selftests: Add tests for migration of private mem arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_host.h | 4 +- arch/x86/kvm/svm/sev.c | 85 ++----- arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.h | 3 +- arch/x86/kvm/x86.c | 221 +++++++++++++++++- arch/x86/kvm/x86.h | 6 + include/linux/kvm_host.h | 18 ++ include/uapi/linux/kvm.h | 8 + tools/testing/selftests/kvm/Makefile | 1 + .../testing/selftests/kvm/guest_memfd_test.c | 42 ++++ .../selftests/kvm/include/kvm_util_base.h | 31 +++ .../kvm/x86_64/private_mem_migrate_tests.c | 93 ++++++++ .../selftests/kvm/x86_64/sev_migrate_tests.c | 48 ++-- virt/kvm/guest_mem.c | 151 ++++++++++-- virt/kvm/kvm_main.c | 10 + virt/kvm/kvm_mm.h | 7 + 15 files changed, 596 insertions(+), 132 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/kvm/x86_64/private_mem_migrate_tests.c -- 2.41.0.640.ga95def55d0-goog
