[PATCH v2 06/14] hv: vmbus: cover all shared-page policy combinations
From: Emerson Busson
Date: Wed Oct 07 2026 - 15:14:10 EST
Name the shared-page selection and enumerate all eight combinations of
Hyper-V isolation, independent guest-memory encryption and channel
confidentiality. Either platform visibility signal selects shared
backing; the confidential-channel override keeps private backing. These
are decision tests, not confidential hardware qualification.
