Subject: [PATCH 09/45] KVM: Define and communicate KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT RWX flags to userspace
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 12:40:53 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102174130.8779-10-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102174130.8779-1-pbonzini@redhat.com>
From: Anish Moorthy <amoorthy@google.com>
kvm_prepare_memory_fault_exit() already takes parameters describing the
RWX-ness of the relevant access but doesn't actually do anything with
them. Define and use the flags necessary to pass this information on to
userspace.
