Use kvm_arch_has_private_mem(), both because "has" makes it obvious this is checking a flag of sorts, and to align with other helpers of this nature (and with CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_PRIVATE_MEM).
$ git grep kvm_arch | grep supported | wc -l 0 $ git grep kvm_arch | grep has | wc -l 26

Chao is saying that kvm_vm_ioctl_set_private_region() pairs nicely with kvm_arch_private_mem_supported(), not that the "encrypted" variant pairs nicely.
I also like using "private" instead of "encrypted", though we should probably find a different verb than "set", because calling "set_private" when making the region shared is confusing. I'm struggling to come up with a good alternative though.
kvm_vm_ioctl_set_memory_region() is already taken by KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION, and that also means that anything with "memory_region" in the name is bound to be confusing.
Hmm, and if we move away from "encrypted", it probably makes sense to pass in addr+size instead of a kvm_enc_region.
Maybe this?
static int kvm_vm_ioctl_set_or_clear_mem_private(struct kvm *kvm, gpa_t gpa, gpa_t size, bool set_private)
and then:
#ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_PRIVATE_MEM case KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION: case KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_UNREG_REGION: { bool set = ioctl == KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION; struct kvm_enc_region region;
if (!kvm_arch_private_mem_supported(kvm)) goto arch_vm_ioctl;
r = -EFAULT; if (copy_from_user(®ion, argp, sizeof(region))) goto out;
r = kvm_vm_ioctl_set_or_clear_mem_private(kvm, region.addr, region.size, set); break; } #endif
I don't love it, so if someone has a better idea...
