[PATCH v11 45/46] KVM: selftests: Test in-place conversions in private_mem_conversions_test
From: Ackerley Tng
Date: Wed Aug 26 2026 - 05:47:50 EST
Test in-place conversions by setting up the guest with a single backing,
using the same guest_memfd for both private and shared memory.
Make testing single backing the default when per-guest_memfd memory
attributes are supported (kvm_has_gmem_attributes). Continue to support
testing of double-backing by accepting a -2 flag.
When testing single-backing, don't use src_type to determine alignment for
rounding up per-cpu test memory size, since guest_memfd's backing page size
is always the system PAGE_SIZE.
To test in-place conversions, set up guest_memfd with
GUEST_MEMFD_FLAG_MMAP and GUEST_MEMFD_FLAG_INIT_SHARED so that both host
and guest access the same backing physical memory.
