[PATCH v4 07/12] KVM: selftests: set KVM_MEM_GUEST_MEMFD in vm_mem_add() if guest_memfd != -1

From: Patrick Roy
Date: Fri Feb 21 2025 - 11:20:23 EST


Have vm_mem_add() always set KVM_MEM_GUEST_MEMFD in the memslot flags if
a guest_memfd is passed in as an argument. This eliminates the
possibility where a guest_memfd instance is passed to vm_mem_add(), but
it ends up being ignored because the flags argument does not specify
KVM_MEM_GUEST_MEMFD at the same time.

This makes it easy to support more scenarios in which no vm_mem_add() is
not passed a guest_memfd instance, but is expected to allocate one.
Currently, this only happens if guest_memfd == -1 but flags &
KVM_MEM_GUEST_MEMFD != 0, but later vm_mem_add() will gain support for
loading the test code itself into guest_memfd (via KVM_GMEM_SHARED_MEM)
if requested via a special vm_mem_backing_src_type, at which point
having to make sure the src_type and flags are in-sync becomes
cumbersome.
