[PATCH 21/26] kvm/memory: Make memory type private by default if it has


From: Paolo Bonzini
Subject: [PATCH 21/26] kvm/memory: Make memory type private by default if it has guest memfd backend
Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2024 19:11:11 +0100

From: Xiaoyao Li <xiaoyao.li@intel.com>

KVM side leaves the memory to shared by default, while may incur the
overhead of paging conversion on the first visit of each page. Because
the expectation is that page is likely to private for the VMs that
require private memory (has guest memfd).

Explicitly set the memory to private when memory region has valid
guest memfd backend.
