Adding the migration maintainers to the cc list, because the real meat of this patchset is "how should the migration of MTE tags be integrated into the migration/ram.c code", which is pretty well out of my area of expertise... thanks -- PMM On Mon, 8 Feb 2021 at 03:20, Haibo Xu <haibo.xu@linaro.org> wrote: > > This series add support for MTE(Memory Tagging Extension)[1] > in KVM guest.

This series add support for MTE(Memory Tagging Extension)[1] in KVM guest. It's based on Steven Price's kernel KVM patches V7[2], and has been tested to ensure that test case[3] can be passed in a KVM guest. Basic pre-copy migration test also passed between two MTE enabled kvm guest. This is a RFC patch series becuase: (1) Need to add some arm MTE specific codes to the ram migration loop. There may be better way to do that in a more abstract way. (2) Only pre-copy migration is supported and tested currently, post-copy as well as compress/zero page migration are still WIP. All kinds of feedbacks are very welcomed, especially for the migration support. Note: (1) To support MTE migration, tags for one page are appended to the page data during ram save iteration which make it easier to sync the page data and tags.
