However, guest_memfd relies on the discard operation to perform page conversion between private and shared memory. This can lead to stale IOMMU mapping issue when assigning a hardware device to a confidential VM via shared memory (unprotected memory pages). Blocking shared page discard can solve this problem, but it could cause guests to consume twice the memory with VFIO, which is not acceptable in some cases. An alternative solution is to convey other systems like VFIO to refresh its outdated IOMMU mappings. RamDiscardManager is an existing concept (used by virtio-mem) to adjust VFIO mappings in relation to VM page assignment. Effectively page conversion is similar to hot-removing a page in one mode and adding it back in the other, so the similar work that needs to happen in response to virtio-mem changes needs to happen for page conversion events. Introduce the RamDiscardManager to guest_memfd to achieve it. However, guest_memfd is not an object so it cannot directly implement the RamDiscardManager interface. One solution is to implement the interface in HostMemoryBackend. AnyThis sounds about right.guest_memfd-backed host memory backend can register itself in the target MemoryRegion. However, this solution doesn't cover the scenario where a guest_memfd MemoryRegion doesn't belong to the HostMemoryBackend, e.g. the virtual BIOS MemoryRegion.What is this virtual BIOS MemoryRegion exactly? What does it look like in "info mtree -f"? Do we really want this memory to be DMAable?virtual BIOS shows in a separate region: Root memory region: system 0000000000000000-000000007fffffff (prio 0, ram): pc.ram KVM ... 00000000ffc00000-00000000ffffffff (prio 0, ram): pc.bios KVM
Looks like a normal MR which can be backed by guest_memfd.
0000000100000000-000000017fffffff (prio 0, ram): pc.ram @0000000080000000 KVM
Anyway if there is no guest_memfd backing it and memory_region_has_ram_discard_manager() returns false, then the MR is just going to be mapped for VFIO as usual which seems... alright, right?
We also consider to implement the interface in HostMemoryBackend, but maybe implement with guest_memfd region is more general. We don't know if any DMAable memory would belong to HostMemoryBackend although at present it is. If it is more appropriate to implement it with HostMemoryBackend, I can change to this way.
Seems cleaner imho.
Thus, choose the second option, i.e. define an object type named guest_memfd_manager with RamDiscardManager interface. Upon creation of guest_memfd, a new guest_memfd_manager object can be instantiated and registered to the managed guest_memfd MemoryRegion to handle the page conversion events. In the context of guest_memfd, the discarded state signifies that the page is private, while the populated state indicated that the page is shared. The state of the memory is tracked at the granularity of the host page size (i.e. block_size), as the minimum conversion size can be one page per request. In addition, VFIO expects the DMA mapping for a specific iova to be mapped and unmapped with the same granularity. However, the confidential VMs may do partial conversion, e.g. conversion happens on a small region within a large region. To prevent such invalid cases and before any potential optimization comes out, all operations are performed with 4K granularity.

[bikeshedding on] But the "RamDiscardListener" word says that already, why repeating? :) It should add information, not duplicate. Like the block_size comment which mentions "alignment" [bikeshedding off]

May be simplify this for now and extend if/when VFIO learns to split mappings, or just drop it when we get in-place page state convertion (which will make this all irrelevant)?The cb() will call with big chunks but actually it do the split with the granularity of block_size in the cb(). See the vfio_ram_discard_notify_populate(), which do the DMA_MAP with granularity size.
Right, and this all happens inside QEMU - first the code finds bigger chunks and then it splits them anyway to call the VFIO driver. Seems pointless to bother about bigger chunks here.
