[PATCH v2 0/9] memfd: add sealing to hugetlb-backed memory

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

 



Hi,

Recently, Mike Kravetz added hugetlbfs support to memfd. However, he
didn't add sealing support. One of the reasons to use memfd is to have
shared memory sealing when doing IPC or sharing memory with another
process with some extra safety. qemu uses shared memory & hugetables
with vhost-user (used by dpdk), so it is reasonable to use memfd
now instead for convenience and security reasons.

Thanks!

v1->v2: after Mike review,
- add "memfd-hugetlb:" prefix in memfd-test
- run fuse test on hugetlb backend memory
- rename function memfd_file_get_seals() -> memfd_file_seals_ptr()
- update commit messages
- added reviewed-by tags

RFC->v1:
- split rfc patch, after early review feedback
- added patch for memfd-test changes
- fix build with hugetlbfs disabled
- small code and commit messages improvements

Marc-André Lureau (9):
  shmem: unexport shmem_add_seals()/shmem_get_seals()
  shmem: rename functions that are memfd-related
  hugetlb: expose hugetlbfs_inode_info in header
  hugetlbfs: implement memfd sealing
  shmem: add sealing support to hugetlb-backed memfd
  memfd-tests: test hugetlbfs sealing
  memfd-test: add 'memfd-hugetlb:' prefix when testing hugetlbfs
  memfd-test: move common code to a shared unit
  memfd-test: run fuse test on hugetlb backend memory
