[PATCH v4 05/12] 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 (private_fd/private_offset). The memslot then
can maintain memory for both shared pages and private pages in a single
memslot. Shared pages are provided by existing userspace_addr(hva) field
and private pages are provided through the new private_fd/private_offset
fields.

Since there is no 'hva' concept anymore for private memory so we cannot
rely on get_user_pages() to get a pfn, instead we use the newly added
memfile_notifier to complete the same job.

This new extension is indicated by a new flag KVM_MEM_PRIVATE.
