[PATCH v8 19/46] KVM: guest_memfd: Use actual size for invalidation in kvm_gmem_release()
From: Ackerley Tng via B4 Relay
Date: Thu Jun 18 2026 - 20:41:28 EST
From: Ackerley Tng <ackerleytng@xxxxxxxxxx>
__kvm_gmem_invalidate_begin() and __kvm_gmem_invalidate_end() actually do
not specially handle -1ul. -1ul is used as a huge number, which legal
indices do not exceed, and hence the invalidation works as expected.
Since a later patch is going to make use of the exact range, calculate the
size of the guest_memfd inode and use it as the end range for invalidating
SPTEs.
