2018-04-09memfd: fix vhost-user-test on non-memfd capable hostMarc-André Lureau1-1/+33
On RHEL7, memfd is not supported, and vhost-user-test fails: TEST: tests/vhost-user-test... (pid=10248) /x86_64/vhost-user/migrate: qemu-system-x86_64: -object memory-backend-memfd,id=mem,size=2M,: failed to create memfd FAIL There is a qemu_memfd_check() to prevent running memfd path, but it also checks for fallback implementation. Let's specialize qemu_memfd_check() to check memfd only, while qemu_memfd_alloc_check() checks for the qemu_memfd_alloc() API.

2018-02-07memfd: add hugetlb supportMarc-André Lureau1-3/+10
Linux commit 749df87bd7bee5a79cef073f5d032ddb2b211de8 (v4.14-rc1) added a new flag MFD_HUGETLB to memfd_create() that specify the file to be created resides in the hugetlbfs filesystem. This is the generic hugetlbfs filesystem not associated with any specific mount point. hugetlbfs does not support sealing operations in v4.14, therefore specifying MFD_ALLOW_SEALING with MFD_HUGETLB will result in EINVAL. However, I added sealing support in "[PATCH v3 0/9] memfd: add sealing to hugetlb-backed memory" series, queued in -mm tree for v4.16.

2017-12-20memfd: fix configure testPaolo Bonzini1-3/+1
Recent glibc added memfd_create in sys/mman.h. This conflicts with the definition in util/memfd.c: /builddir/build/BUILD/qemu-2.11.0-rc1/util/memfd.c:40:12: error: static declaration of memfd_create follows non-static declaration Fix the configure test, and remove the sys/memfd.h inclusion since the file actually does not exist---it is a typo in the memfd_create(2) man page.

2015-10-22util: add fallback for qemu_memfd_alloc()Marc-André Lureau1-2/+18
Add an open/unlink/mmap fallback for system that do not support memfd (only available since 3.17, ~1y ago). This patch may require additional SELinux policies to work for enforced systems, but should fail gracefully in this case.

2015-10-22util: add linux-only memfd fallbackMarc-André Lureau1-0/+54
Implement memfd_create() fallback if not available in system libc. memfd_create() is still not included in glibc today, atlhough it's been available since Linux 3.17 in Oct 2014. memfd has numerous advantages over traditional shm/mmap for ipc memory sharing with fd handler, which we are going to make use of for vhost-user logging memory in following patches. The next patches are going to introduce helpers to use best practices of memfd usage and provide some compatibility fallback. memfd.c is thus temporarily useless and eventually empty if memfd_create() is provided by the system.
