[PATCH v11 45/46] KVM: selftests: Test in-place conversions in private_mem_conversions_test

From: Ackerley Tng <hidden>
Date: 2026-08-26 09:19:26
Also in: kvm, linux-doc, linux-kselftest, linux-mm, linux-trace-kernel, lkml
Subsystem: kernel selftest framework, kernel virtual machine (kvm), kernel virtual machine for x86 (kvm/x86), the rest · Maintainers: Shuah Khan, Shuah Khan, Paolo Bonzini, Sean Christopherson, Linus Torvalds

Test in-place conversions by setting up the guest with a single backing,
using the same guest_memfd for both private and shared memory.

Make testing single backing the default when per-guest_memfd memory
attributes are supported (kvm_has_gmem_attributes). Continue to support
testing of double-backing by accepting a -2 flag.

When testing single-backing, don't use src_type to determine alignment for
rounding up per-cpu test memory size, since guest_memfd's backing page size
is always the system PAGE_SIZE.

To test in-place conversions, set up guest_memfd with
GUEST_MEMFD_FLAG_MMAP and GUEST_MEMFD_FLAG_INIT_SHARED so that both host
and guest access the same backing physical memory.
