[PATCH v3 04/15] KVM: Extend the memslot to support fd-based private memory

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

 



Extend the memslot definition to provide fd-based private memory support
by adding two new fields(fd/ofs). The memslot then can maintain memory
for both shared and private pages in a single memslot. Shared pages are
provided in the existing way by using userspace_addr(hva) field and
get_user_pages() while private pages are provided through the new
fields(fd/ofs). Since there is no 'hva' concept anymore for private
memory we cannot call get_user_pages() to get a pfn, instead we rely on
the newly introduced MEMFD_OPS callbacks to do the same job.

This new extension is indicated by a new flag KVM_MEM_PRIVATE.
