Does it include the private/shared concept?
I used that to represent the possible gmemfd use cases outside confidential computing. So the private/shared things should still be around as fundamental property of gmemfd, but it should be always shared and no convertion needed for the whole lifecycle of the gmemfd when marked !CoCo. Basically, that's the KVM-only hugetlbfs v2.. especially if this series will move on with hugetlb allocators, that's even closer.. which makes some sense to me at least for now to avoid reinvent the wheels all over the places over cgroup/pool/meminfo/etc. -- Peter Xu
