Subject: [PATCH 3/3] KVM: guest_memfd: Handle errors from xa_store_range() when binding
Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 13:45:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260522-fix-sev-gmem-post-populate-v1-3-9fc8d6437b65@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260522-fix-sev-gmem-post-populate-v1-0-9fc8d6437b65@google.com>
From: Ackerley Tng <ackerleytng@google.com>
Unhandled errors from xa_store_range() means kvm_gmem_bind() might falsely
reporting success, leading to false assumptions in guest_memfd's lifecycle
later.
Handle these errors by checking and returning the error to the userspace.
Fixes: a7800aa80ea4d ("KVM: Add KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD ioctl() for guest-specific backing memory")
