[PATCH v4 03/12] mm: Introduce memfile_notifier

From: Chao Peng
Date: Tue Jan 18 2022 - 08:22:41 EST


This patch introduces memfile_notifier facility so existing memory file
subsystems (e.g. tmpfs/hugetlbfs) can provide memory pages to allow a
third kernel component to make use of memory bookmarked in the memory
file and gets notified when the pages in the memory file become
allocated/invalidated.

It will be used for KVM to use a file descriptor as the guest memory
backing store and KVM will use this memfile_notifier interface to
interact with memory file subsystems. In the future there might be other
consumers (e.g. VFIO with encrypted device memory).

It consists two sets of callbacks:
- memfile_notifier_ops: callbacks for memory backing store to notify
KVM when memory gets allocated/invalidated.
- memfile_pfn_ops: callbacks for KVM to call into memory backing store
to request memory pages for guest private memory.

Userspace is in charge of guest memory lifecycle: it first allocates
pages in memory backing store and then passes the fd to KVM and lets KVM
register each memory slot to memory backing store via
memfile_register_notifier.

The supported memory backing store should maintain a memfile_notifier list
and provide routine for memfile_notifier to get the list head address and
memfile_pfn_ops callbacks for memfile_register_notifier. It also should call
memfile_notifier_fallocate/memfile_notifier_invalidate when the bookmarked
memory gets allocated/invalidated.
