[PATCH v10 00/41] guest_memfd: In-place conversion support

From: Ackerley Tng via B4 Relay <devnull+ackerleytng.google.com@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-08-07 21:52:47
Also in: b4-sent, kvm, linux-coco, linux-doc, linux-kselftest, linux-mm, lkml

This is v10 of guest_memfd in-place conversion support, which addresses
comments on v9. Please find the motivation for this series from v8 and
before.

v9 is based on kvm-x86/next, with a cherry-picked version of David's GUP
fix [1], and a cherry-picked version of David's refactoring patch
[2].

Here's everything stitched together for your convenience:

I tested v10 with CoCo selftests on top of the branch above:

https://github.com/googleprodkernel/linux-cc/commits/guest_memfd-inplace-conversion-coco-selftests-v10

Tested with both CONFIG_KVM_VM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES enabled and disabled:
