[PATCH 0/2] KVM: guest_memfd: Handle xarray binding errors

From: Sean Christopherson

Date: Wed Aug 26 2026 - 13:03:55 EST


Handle errors when inserting into guest_memfd's binding xarray, e.g. to
do the right thing on ENOMEM.

Patch 2 is a related cleanup to remove a superflous WRITE_ONCE() (unwinding
the slot update on insertion failure isn't an option if the slot is observable,
i.e. if the WRITE_ONCE() is actually necessary).

Sean Christopherson (2):
KVM: guest_memfd: Gracefully handle xarray errors when binding a
memslot
KVM: guest_memfd: Drop superfluous WRITE_ONCE() when binding a memslot
