cover selftests: kvm: Introduce the mem_slot_test test

This series introduces a new KVM selftest (mem_slot_test) that goal is to verify memory slots can be added up to the maximum allowed. An extra slot is attempted which should occur on error.

The patch 01 is needed so that the VM fd can be accessed from the test code (for the ioctl call attempting to add an extra slot).

I ran the test successfully on x86_64, aarch64, and s390x. This is why it is enabled to build on those arches.

Finally, I hope it is useful test!

This patch introduces the mem_slot_test test which checks an VM can have added memory slots up to the limit defined in KVM_CAP_NR_MEMSLOTS. Then attempt to add one more slot to verify it fails as expected.

It would be nice to exercise the code by adding slots with different page flags. But for this test that simple checks the limit, the use of KVM_MEM_READONLY is enough. I will change it on v2.

Good idea.

In the kvm API document there isn't any mention to the errno returned but looking at code it seems to be EINVAL for all errors (except for one EEXIST).

It would be good to test more memslot error conditions as well. Do you plan to expand on this test?

It would be nice to exercise the code by adding slots with different page flags. But for this test that simple checks the limit, the use of KVM_MEM_READONLY is enough. I will change it on v2.

It would be good to test more memslot error conditions as well. Do you plan to expand on this test?

Yes, I do. For example, check memory slots addresses can't overlap.

This patch introduces the mem_slot_test test which checks an VM can have added memory slots up to the limit defined in KVM_CAP_NR_MEMSLOTS. Then attempt to add one more slot to verify it fails as expected.

BTW, in kvm/queue we also now have

x86_64/set_memory_region_test.c

I wonder if we shouldn't try to make x86_64/set_memory_region_test.c arch-neutral and then integrate this new test with it.

When I started work on this test I called it "add_max_mem_slots" but then I realized it could be rather a suite for other tests, so it was renamed. So yes, I think we can try to merge those memory region tests altogether.

I'm about to send a v2 where I address all your comments and hopefully we can use as the base for such as integration. Makes sense?

Thanks!

OK, but there's no rush (at least for me) for v2. If you want to look at integration for v2 and send it later, then I'm fine with waiting.
