When guest_memfd becomes a library, a callback will need to be made to
the owner (KVM SEV) to transition pages back to hypervisor-owned/shared
state. This is currently being done as part of .free_folio() address
space op, but this callback shouldn't assume that the mapping still
exists. guest_memfd library will need the mapping to still exist to look
up its operations table.

I assume you mean, that the mapping is no longer set for the folio (it
sure still exists, because we are getting a callback from it :) )?

Staring at filemap_remove_folio(), this is exactly what happens:

We remember folio->mapping, call __filemap_remove_folio(), and then call
filemap_free_folio() where we zap folio->mapping via page_cache_delete().

Maybe it's easier+cleaner to also forward the mapping to the
free_folio() callback, just like we do with filemap_free_folio()? Would
that help?

CCing Willy if that would be reasonable extension of the free_folio
callback.


Now really CCing him. :)



.release_folio() and .invalidate_folio() address space ops can serve the
same purpose here. The key difference between release_folio() and
free_folio() is whether the mapping is still valid at time of the
callback. This approach was discussed in the link in the footer, but not
taken because free_folio() was easier to implement.
