[PATCH RFC v3 1/2] KVM: guest_memfd: Convert .free_folio() to .release_folio()

From: Elliot Berman
Date: Wed Nov 13 2024 - 17:35:17 EST


When guest_memfd becomes a library, a callback will need to be made to
the owner (KVM SEV) to transition pages back to hypervisor-owned/shared
state. This is currently being done as part of .free_folio() address
space op, but this callback shouldn't assume that the mapping still
exists. guest_memfd library will need the mapping to still exist to look
up its operations table.

.release_folio() and .invalidate_folio() address space ops can serve the
same purpose here. The key difference between release_folio() and
free_folio() is whether the mapping is still valid at time of the
callback. This approach was discussed in the link in the footer, but not
taken because free_folio() was easier to implement.
