Subject: [PATCH RFC 15/17] KVM: guest_memfd: implement userfaultfd missing mode
Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2026 21:29:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260127192936.1250096-16-rppt@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260127192936.1250096-1-rppt@kernel.org>
From: Nikita Kalyazin <kalyazin@amazon.com>
userfaultfd missing mode allows populating guest memory with the content
supplied by userspace on demand.
Extend guest_memfd implementation of vm_uffd_ops to support MISSING
mode.
