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