Found another issue with KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2.
KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 was defined to do the same thing as KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES, but that's wrong since KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 should indicate the presence of KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 and struct kvm_memory_attributes2.
Usage is kind of weird and I hope to get feedback on this as well.
This describes the difference between the previous version of this patch and the one attached below.
I also added this to the changelog
Add KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 to indicate that struct kvm_memory_attributes2 exists and can be used either with KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 via the vm or guest_memfd ioctl.
Since KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 is not limited to be used only with the vm ioctl, return 1 for KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 as long as struct kvm_memory_attributes2 and KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 can be used. KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES must still be used to actually get valid attributes.
Handle KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 and return 1 regardless of CONFIG_KVM_VM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES, since KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 is not limited to a vm ioctl and can also be used with the guest_memfd ioctl.
Here's the entire patch so hopefully it's easy to swap out this entire patch over the original one.
From 8887ba58f6fd97c529c8152d6f18e5e26651dbec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ackerley Tng ackerleytng@google.com Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2025 11:48:01 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: Introduce KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2
Introduce a "version 2" of KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES to support returning information back to userspace.
This new ioctl and structure will, in a later patch, be shared as a guest_memfd ioctl, where the padding in the new kvm_memory_attributes2 structure will be for writing the response from the guest_memfd ioctl to userspace.
A new ioctl is necessary for these reasons:
1. KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES is currently a write-only ioctl and does not allow userspace to read fields. There's nothing in code (yet?) that validates this, but using _IOWR for consistency would be prudent.
2. KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES, when used as a guest_memfd ioctl, will need an additional field to provide userspace with more error details.
Alternatively, a completely new ioctl could be defined, unrelated to KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES, but using the same ioctl number and struct for the vm and guest_memfd ioctls streamlines the interface for userspace. In addition, any memory attributes, implemented on the vm or guest_memfd ioctl, can be easily shared with the other.
Add KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 to indicate that struct kvm_memory_attributes2 exists and can be used either with KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 via the vm or guest_memfd ioctl.
Since KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 is not limited to be used only with the vm ioctl, return 1 for KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 as long as struct kvm_memory_attributes2 and KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 can be used. KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES must still be used to actually get valid attributes.
Handle KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 and return 1 regardless of CONFIG_KVM_VM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES, since KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES2 is not limited to a vm ioctl and can also be used with the guest_memfd ioctl.
