Hello, This patchset builds upon the memfd_restricted() system call that has been discussed in the ‘KVM: mm: fd-based approach for supporting KVM’ patch series, at https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221202061347.1070246-1-chao.p.p...@linux.intel.com/T/#m7e944d7892afdd1d62a03a287bd488c56e377b0c
The tree can be found at: https://github.com/googleprodkernel/linux-cc/tree/restrictedmem-rmfd-hugepage Following the RFC to provide mount for memfd_restricted() syscall at https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1676507663.git.ackerley...@google.com/T/#u, this patchset adds the RMFD_HUGEPAGE flag to the memfd_restricted() syscall, which will hint the kernel to use Transparent HugePages to back restrictedmem pages. This supplements the interface proposed earlier, which requires the creation of a tmpfs mount to be passed to memfd_restricted(), with a more direct per-file hint.
