From: Chao Peng <redacted> This new KVM exit allows userspace to handle memory-related errors. It indicates an error happens in KVM at guest memory range [gpa, gpa+size). The flags includes additional information for userspace to handle the error. Currently bit 0 is defined as 'private memory' where '1' indicates error happens due to private memory access and '0' indicates error happens due to shared memory access.
Now it's bit 3: #define KVM_MEMORY_EXIT_FLAG_PRIVATE (1ULL << 3) I remember some other attributes were introduced in v10 yet: #define KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_READ (1ULL << 0) #define KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_WRITE (1ULL << 1) #define KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_EXECUTE (1ULL << 2) #define KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE (1ULL << 3) So KVM_MEMORY_EXIT_FLAG_PRIVATE changed to bit 3 due to above things, or other reason ? (Sorry I didn't follow v10 too much before).

When private memory is enabled, this new exit will be used for KVM to exit to userspace for shared <-> private memory conversion in memory encryption usage. In such usage, typically there are two kind of memory conversions: - explicit conversion: happens when guest explicitly calls into KVM to map a range (as private or shared), KVM then exits to userspace to perform the map/unmap operations. - implicit conversion: happens in KVM page fault handler where KVM exits to userspace for an implicit conversion when the page is in a different state than requested (private or shared).
