From: Ackerley Tng <redacted> Add a selftest to verify that converting a shared guest_memfd page to a private page fails if the page has an elevated reference count. When KVM converts a shared page to a private one, it expects the page to have a reference count equal to the reference counts taken by the filemap. If another kernel subsystem holds a reference to the page, the conversion must be aborted. The test asserts that both bulk and single-page conversion attempts correctly fail with EAGAIN for the pinned page. After the page is unpinned, the test verifies that subsequent conversions succeed.
