Subject: [PATCH v16 20/22] KVM: Allow and advertise support for host mmap() on guest_memfd files
Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2025 11:47:12 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250723104714.1674617-21-tabba@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250723104714.1674617-1-tabba@google.com>
Now that all the x86 and arm64 plumbing for mmap() on guest_memfd is in
place, allow userspace to set GUEST_MEMFD_FLAG_MMAP and advertise support
via a new capability, KVM_CAP_GUEST_MEMFD_MMAP.
The availability of this capability is determined per architecture, and
its enablement for a specific guest_memfd instance is controlled by the
GUEST_MEMFD_FLAG_MMAP flag at creation time.
Update the KVM API documentation to detail the KVM_CAP_GUEST_MEMFD_MMAP
capability, the associated GUEST_MEMFD_FLAG_MMAP, and provide essential
information regarding support for mmap in guest_memfd.
