Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 2/6] KVM: guest_memfd: Support private/shared conversion of device memory
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2026 12:55:00 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261010072504.536230-3-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261010072504.536230-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org>
Allow architectures to convert device-backed guest_memfd ranges to
private memory. Coordinate conversion with the device provider and
update guest_memfd attributes only after the architecture operation
succeeds.
Hold the inode invalidate lock across conversion and the attribute
update. Provider callbacks allow a device conversion lock to cover the
same operation, with the inode lock acquired first. This prevents faults
and competing device operations from observing an incomplete conversion.
