[PATCH v8 07/46] KVM: Rename memory attribute APIs to prepare for in-place gmem conversion
From: Ackerley Tng via B4 Relay
Date: Thu Jun 18 2026 - 20:36:58 EST
From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx>
Rename memory attribute APIs to add a "vm_" in the name in anticipation of
moving PRIVATE tracking into guest_memfd, to allow in-place conversion
between SHARED and PRIVATE. At that point, there will effectively be two
(potential) sources of memory attributes: the VM and guest_memfd.
No functional change intended.
