Subject: [PATCH 09/11] KVM: arm64: CCA: Prevent memslot modifications after Realm creation
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 14:13:00 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102141304.126883-10-steven.price@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102141304.126883-1-steven.price@arm.com>
From: Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose@arm.com>
Once the Realm is created, prevent any changes to guest_memfd backed
memslots, as the private memory is provided by slots backed by gmem.
This will also be validated when we handle a fault for Realm Stage2 (in
a later commit).
Additionally, similar to pKVM, we do not support dirty logging or
read-only memslots.
