Subject: [PATCH v2 02/12] KVM: arm64: guest_memfd: Check mmap support when preparing memslot
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 14:57:46 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111145758.217946-3-steven.price@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261111145758.217946-1-steven.price@arm.com>
Check the guest_memfd backing file when deciding whether an arm64
memslot has mappable memory rather than checking whether the slot is
gmem only. A public helper function is added to be able to reuse the
static kvm_gmem_supports_mmap() function.
Signed-off-by: Steven Price <steven.price@arm.com>
---
Changes since v1:
- New patch in v2. Check the guest_memfd backing file rather than the
memslot flag when deciding whether arm64 can map the backing memory.
