KVM would like to add a ioctl to encrypt and install a page into private memory (i.e. into a guest_memfd), in preparation for launching an encrypted guest. This API should be used only once per page (unless there are failures), so we want to rule out the possibility of operating on a page that is already in the guest_memfd's filemap. Overwriting the page is almost certainly a sign of a bug, so we might as well forbid it. Therefore, introduce a new flag for __filemap_get_folio (to be passed together with FGP_CREAT) that allows *adding* a new page to the filemap but not returning an existing one. An alternative possibility would be to force KVM users to initialize the whole filemap in one go, but that is complicated by the fact that the filemap includes pages of different kinds, including some that are per-vCPU rather than per-VM. Basically the result would be closer to a system call that multiplexes multiple ioctls, than to something cleaner like readv/writev. Races between callers that pass FGP_CREAT_ONLY are uninteresting to the filemap code: one of the racers wins and one fails with EEXIST, similar to calling open(2) with O_CREAT|O_EXCL. It doesn't matter to filemap.c if the missing synchronization is in the kernel or in userspace, and in fact it could even be intentional. (In the case of KVM it turns out that a mutex is taken around these calls for unrelated reasons, so there can be no races.)
