[PATCH v2 1/9] kvm: Decouple memory attribute check from kvm_guest_memfd_supported
Posted by Peter Xu 18 hours ago
From: Xiaoyao Li <xiaoyao.li@intel.com>

With the mmap support of guest memfd, KVM allows usersapce to create
guest memfd serving as normal non-private memory for X86 DEFEAULT VM.
However, KVM doesn't support private memory attriute for X86 DEFAULT
VM.

Make kvm_guest_memfd_supported not rely on KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE
and check KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE separately when the machine
requires guest_memfd to serve as private memory.

This allows QMEU to create guest memfd with mmap to serve as the memory
backend for X86 DEFAULT VM.
