In v11 we used to call truncate_inode_pages_range() here to drop filemap's
reference on the folio. AFAICT the folios are only getting free'd upon
guest shutdown without this. Was this on purpose?

Nope, I just spotted this too.  And then after scratching my head for a few minutes,
wondering if I was having an -ENOCOFFEE moment, I finally read your mail.  *sigh*

Looking at my reflog history, I'm pretty sure I deleted the wrong line when
removing the truncation from kvm_gmem_error_page().

We take the filemap lock here, but not for
kvm_gmem_get_pfn()->kvm_gmem_get_folio(). Is it needed there as well?

No, we specifically do not want to take a rwsem when faulting in guest memory.
Callers of kvm_gmem_get_pfn() *must* guard against concurrent invalidations via
mmu_invalidate_seq and friends.

I needed to relax this check for SNP. KVM_GUEST_MEMFD_ALLOW_HUGEPAGE
applies to entire gmem inode, so it makes sense for userspace to enable
hugepages if start/end are hugepage-aligned, but QEMU will do things
like map overlapping regions for ROMs and other things on top of the
GPA range that the gmem inode was originally allocated for. For
instance:

  692500@1689108688.696338:kvm_set_user_memory AddrSpace#0 Slot#0 flags=0x4 gpa=0x0 size=0x80000000 ua=0x7fbf5be00000 ret=0 restricted_fd=19 restricted_offset=0x0

Because of that the KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGIONs for non-THP-aligned GPAs
will fail. Maybe instead it should be allowed, and kvm_gmem_get_folio()
should handle the alignment checks on a case-by-case and simply force 4k
for offsets corresponding to unaligned bindings?

Yeah, I wanted to keep the code simple, but disallowing small bindings/memslots
is probably going to be a deal-breaker.  Even though I'm skeptical that QEMU
_needs_ to play these games for SNP guests, not playing nice will make it all
but impossible to use guest_memfd for regular VMs.

And the code isn't really any more complex, so long as we punt on allowing
hugepages on interior sub-ranges.

Compile-tested only, but this?
