Subject: [PATCH v7 18/42] KVM: Let userspace disable per-VM mem attributes, enable per-gmem attributes
Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 17:18:00 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260522-gmem-inplace-conversion-v7-18-2f0fae496530@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260522-gmem-inplace-conversion-v7-0-2f0fae496530@google.com>

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>

Make vm_memory_attributes a module parameter so that userspace can disable
the use of memory attributes on the VM level.

To avoid inconsistencies in the way memory attributes are tracked in KVM
and guest_memfd, the vm_memory_attributes module_param is made
read-only (0444).

Make CONFIG_KVM_VM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES selectable, only for (CoCo) VM types
that might use vm_memory_attributes.
