Subject: [PATCH v7 35/42] KVM: selftests: Reset shared memory after hole-punching
Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 17:18:17 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260522-gmem-inplace-conversion-v7-35-2f0fae496530@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260522-gmem-inplace-conversion-v7-0-2f0fae496530@google.com>

From: Ackerley Tng <ackerleytng@google.com>

private_mem_conversions_test used to reset the shared memory that was used
for the test to an initial pattern at the end of each test iteration. Then,
it would punch out the pages, which would zero memory.

Without in-place conversion, the resetting would write shared memory, and
hole-punching will zero private memory, hence resetting the test to the
state at the beginning of the for loop.

With in-place conversion, resetting writes memory as shared, and
hole-punching zeroes the same physical memory, hence undoing the reset
done before the hole punch.

Move the resetting after the hole-punching, and reset the entire
PER_CPU_DATA_SIZE instead of just the tested range.

With in-place conversion, this zeroes and then resets the same physical
memory. Without in-place conversion, the private memory is zeroed, and the
shared memory is reset to init_p.

This is sufficient since at each test stage, the memory is assumed to start
as shared, and private memory is always assumed to start zeroed. Conversion
zeroes memory, so the future test stages will work as expected.

Fixes: 43f623f350ce1 ("KVM: selftests: Add x86-only selftest for private memory conversions")
