Subject: [PATCH v3 0/6] KVM: guest_memfd: support for uffd minor
Date: Fri, 4 Apr 2025 15:43:46 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250404154352.23078-1-kalyazin@amazon.com> (raw)
This series is built on top of the Fuad's v7 "mapping guest_memfd backed
memory at the host" [1].
With James's KVM userfault [2], it is possible to handle stage-2 faults
in guest_memfd in userspace. However, KVM itself also triggers faults
in guest_memfd in some cases, for example: PV interfaces like kvmclock,
PV EOI and page table walking code when fetching the MMIO instruction on
x86. It was agreed in the guest_memfd upstream call on 23 Jan 2025 [3]
that KVM would be accessing those pages via userspace page tables. In
order for such faults to be handled in userspace, guest_memfd needs to
support userfaultfd.
Changes since v2 [4]:
- James: Fix sgp type when calling shmem_get_folio_gfp
- James: Improved vm_ops->fault() error handling
- James: Add and make use of the can_userfault() VMA operation
- James: Add UFFD_FEATURE_MINOR_GUEST_MEMFD feature flag
- James: Fix typos and add more checks in the test
